Martin Lewis has spoken out after NTAs viewers spotted him looking a little miffed to lose out during this year’s ceremony.
At Wednesday night’s event, the money-saving expert was nominated in two categories, with his ITV show receiving recognition in the Best Factual category while he himself also received a Best Expert nod.
On both occasions, he lost out to Stacey Solomon’s Sort Your Life Out and national treasure Sir David Attenborough, with some viewers over on X suggesting he didn’t take seem to be taking those losses particularly well.
A couple were even reminded of a certain iconic Friends scene…
