He quizzed International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan on the issue of paid lobbying in the aftermath of the Owen Paterson row.

However, Good Morning Britain viewers loved Martin's challenge to Ms Trevelyan on whether the seven Nolan principles in public life were in play when the vote to overturn Owen Paterson's parliamentary suspension was considered.

Complimenting his questioning and interviewing style, Maria tweeted: "@susannareid100 Martin is fantastic, you seem so at ease working with him. Much better than Madeley."

Debbie commented: "Think they should make you permanent presenter...doing a fab job."

Stavros tweeted: "Why can’t we have Martin & Susanna hosting #GMB together every day?"

And Kate said: "@MartinSLewis is just brilliant."
