Martin Lewis quits Good Morning Britain after 17 years on breakfast TV

Martin Lewis has announced he is quitting his regular slot on Good Morning Britain after 17 years.

The founder of the Money Saving Expert site host a weekly slot on GMB called Tips of the Week where he tells people how to save money, get money back or otherwise get their finances into shape.

Martin said he is struggling to cope with the stress of the money savings segment on the show and would not have the time now that he is launching his new show in September, reports The Mirror.

Speaking on his last ever appearance today Martin said: "My time is running out, this is actually my last ever Tips Of The Week.

"Because of my new show coming on every week in September, I am not going to do them any more.

"I hope to still pop on Good Morning Britain, it's been a wonderful 15-odd years on ITV daytime.

"I am going to have a bit of a break for the summer, so I just want to say thank you all for watching."

He went on: "I will see you in September, I'm not leaving properly, but this is my main, every week slot going, because I can't cope with doing it all at once."

GB host Charlotte Hawkins said: "Thank you Martin, because I know that you've made a big difference to lots of people who hang out for your tips.

"So thank you so much for that and enjoy your break in that case."

Martin tweeted shortly afterwards: "After 17ish yrs on ITV breakfast that was my last Deals of the Week. With @itvMLshow going live weekly every Thur eve from Sept, for min 6mths, I need focus on that (Ill do some Deals there too).

"Thanks for watching these yrs & huge thanks to @GMB & it's gr8 team for everything".

* Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays on ITV at 6am
