“I developed it [Money Saving Expert] on this simple money channel that nobody watched and that’s where I learned my trade… that went bust,” he revealed.
“I had a column in the Sunday Express, I did some stuff on Channel 5 – that show was stopped. I had lunch with my dad and I said, ‘I’m not sure this’ll work. I keep going to people and they say money doesn’t work on television.’
“I said to my dad ‘I’m gonna give it two months more and then I’m going to have to quit because I’m really struggling.’”
However, Martin didn’t give up on his dreams and went on to become one of the most influential voices in television, even winning the prize of top TV expert at the National Television Awards back in October.
Martin has been married to wife Lara Lewington since 2009 and the pair welcomed their daughter Sapphire in 2012.
