Martin Lewis had to stop his show last night and apologise to viewers after he made a slight blunder when talking about energy bills.
The show last night focused on all things energy and Martin discussed the current state of the market and where he thinks it could go over the next year.
The show also featured the Energy Security and Net Zero minister Grant Shapps who answered questions sent in by Money Show live viewers.
The MoneySavingExpert asked the energy secretary to confirm whether or not the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) was going to rise from £2,500 to £3,000 in April.
Martin said: "On Thursday, the energy companies have to tell the pre-payment meter companies what their prices are gonna be. And they have not increased their prices in April.
"I also have other sources that tell me prices are not going up.
"Since I did that, The Times has reported sources in Government saying prices are going up and the BBC has reported sources in Government saying prices are going up."
Midway through his next sentence the Money Saving Expert noticed his slip of the tongue.
Martin was saying: "I would say my certainty..."
He then cut off his sentence and looked directly into the camera adding: "Prices are NOT going up, sorry let me correct myself, prices are NOT going up in April."
Martin chuckled whilst he said: "What a slip up to say it is going up. Live telly everyone!"
The audience and Grant Shapps laughed along with the Money Saving Expert and swiftly moved on.
Grant Shapps did answer the question by confirming the next steps of the Government's energy plan would be revealed by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt next week.
On Wednesday, March 15, the Chancellor is set to share in Spring Budget.
On the Money Show, Martin Lewis shared with viewers and the energy secretary his projections of what the Energy Price Cap as well as wholesale prices, tariffs and standing charges could possibly be over the next few months.
Martin added: "I'm 99% sure that the price guarantee will not go up in April."
This statement was given more weight as the energy minister told Martin that he "recognised" the figures he was sharing.
He said: "Without wishing to announce the budget, I recognise these numbers, these figures are in the right ballpark. Your research is good."
