Martin Lewis's wife Lara Lewington reveals she covers facial scars with 'heavy make up' after electric scooter accident

Lara Lewington, the wife of TV's Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis, has been covering up facial scars with "heavy make up" after an accident on an electric scooter.

The TV presenter and tech journalist, 43, fell off an electric scooter and split her lip and forehead, but that didn't stop her attending a glitzy event at the British Museum just weeks after the incident, reports The Mirror. She appeared fresh-faced as she smiled in a selfie in front of the famous building, and fans showered her with compliments.

Replying to one of the compliments, Lara said: ""Thank you, some very heavy make up has unbelievably managed to cover them! Dinner @britishmuseum, what a venue and what a night.

"A brilliant get together of the @foundersforum crowd. Met a lot of doctors (could’ve done with them a few weeks ago - although only a couple any good at medical treatment), tech founders, and generally interesting folk."

In another selfie, Lara was seen smiling in front of the camera in a blue dress.

She wrote: "Self shot today for the first time in a while. Had totally forgotten how useful it is to just be able to record a quick couple of pieces to camera to finish off a story.

"Was pretty pleased with lighting, sound, shot, makeup (as scars hidden), and then took a selfie of it all before dropping clip in to finish my edit. Whilst I don’t want to do all this by myself all the time, it feels good to know I can."

Lara shared a photo of her bloody injuries after she fell off an electric scooter last week, stunning her followers. The first photo showed stitches as her skin started to heal, and in the second she revealed fresh cuts.

Accompanying the photos were captions that read: "As an extremely clumsy person, always wobbly on two wheels, the electric scooter ride was never going to be a good idea," and: "After being cleaned up and stitched up, six days later I’m healing well, and grateful it wasn’t worse. Never again!"
