Martin Lewis is known for being an expert at money saving but he has now admitted his wife is secretly just as good at it.
The journalist, 49, is known for providing consumer advice on saving money, including through the MoneySavingExpert website which he founded.
It appears that his frugal tips are rubbing off on his family members as well as the public, as he admitted that his wife, Lara Lewington is "way tighter" than he is.

Martin has been married to his wife Lara, who co-hosts BBC technology show Click, for more than a decade.
He opened up on his wife's money saving habits during a discussion with Nihal Arthanayake, 50, on his BBC Radio 5 Live show.
On the radio show, Martin asked listeners to get in touch to discuss how they manage their finances as a part of a couple.
Comments from callers prompted Martin to speak about his own financial experiences with his wife.
He said: "I've said it before and I shall say it again. She's actually out of the country filming so I'm definitely safe to say it at the moment - my wife is way tighter than I am."
He added: "You have to unclasp her fingers to get y'know a quid out.
"I'm like, 'you could leave them a tip you know.'"
Martin admitted that as well as his wife being good at saving money, she is also the better of the pair at doing things around the house including anything to do with technology.
He said: ""In my household we each have spheres of influence, that's my jokey name for them.
"When it comes to DIY and changing plugs, I know who's better at that and it is not me. Same with tech, as I'm married to a tech journalist."
