MARTIN LEWIS' HEAT HACKS
The Sun has reported on some ways to save on heating bills from the MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis.
He suggested a handful of nifty gadgets that will stop you reaching for the heating.
One of these includes USB gloves, which if you were to use them for a normal 9-5 work day, then it would cost you less than 10p to use all day.
Amazon is currently selling them for £4.99 while Originals is selling ones you charge using a battery pack (which could cost less to run) for £39.99.
It's worth considering which ones would be better for you to use by comparing how often you'll use them.
Martin Lewis' career so far
Financial journalist and presenter Martin Lewis has had a career spanning three decades.
He's a familiar face on television, appearing on various shows for ITV.
Let's take a look at some of Martin's most notable achievements so far.
