Last night Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis appeared on ITV for a cost of living special of the Martin Lewis Money Show.
On the show, Martin discussed topics like how to reduce water bills, increasing cost of living prices and even stockpiling stamps.
But just moments into the ITV show, viewers were distracted at his flashy outfit of choice during his coverage of a sensitive subject at a time of national crisis.
Martin chose to wear an all-black glitzy suit with sparkly, sequined jacket which caught everyone's attention.

Soon after the episode began, Angelica Bell quickly picked up on the comments online and told him he was getting a lot of questions about wearing a 'sparkly' shirt with the suggestion that it was too 'bling' for a programme about people struggling with bills.
To Martin's credit, he assured viewers that he wanted to give everyone a bit of a lift and that the subject matter was simply 'too depressing' without something positive.
He told her: "You know, I did think that but I thought it's so depressing otherwise!"
However viewers were not impressed with the "inappropriate" sparkly jacket and went straight to social media to share their reactions, says Yorkshire Live.
@LilyRhos Tweeted: “@MartinSLewis I am a real fan of yours, and all the good work you do. But where on earth did you get that awful jacket!”
@Paul20956589 said: “#Martinlewis why on Earth are you wearing that sparkly jacket? It is not a great time with the war and what is happening in Ukraine. Does not seem that you are taking things seriously.”
@clements_marcus wrote: “@MartinSLewis literally couldn’t write it! Cost of living special being introduced by a man in a sequin edged dinner jacket #noidea #MartinLewis #getagrip.”
@JasonDo82961791: “Lose the glitter jacket. Not sure its appropriate when people are struggling with the cost of living #MartinLewis”
While @j_sapier added: “#Martinlewis That jacket! Really?”
Martin Lewis' Money Show will be back in October for a new series on ITV1.
