On Thursday night (October 13) the National Television Awards took place where celebrities gathered in the hopes of scooping the crown.
And last night it was Martin Lewis who won the award in his category of 'expert'.
It comes amid the cost of living crisis which has seen bills soar for millions across the UK with Martin Lewis on hand to help, handing out advice and predictions about the current situation to help others.

However during his acceptance speech, Martin Lewis sounded the alarm about the ongoing financial crisis telling the audience both in the venue and at home that "somebody has to get a grip on the economy".
Picking up the expert award at London’s OVO Wembley Arena, he said: “It’s been a pretty horrible year financially. I mean, the energy crisis has been disastrous and left many people with terrible issues and mental health problems.
“I’m afraid the next year with the mortgage problem and the knock-on to rent is going to be pretty bad. And you know what? We need somebody to get a grip on the economy and put things a little bit back.”
He added that he was surprised to win the award when nominated against veteran broadcaster and environmentalist Sir David Attenborough, and also praised the other nominees, The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades and farming contractor Kaleb Cooper.
The best new drama award was picked up by new ITV thriller Trigger Point, which stars Vicky McClure. Among the other nominees in the category were LGBTQ+ drama Heartstopper, medical memoir This Is Going To Hurt and prison drama Time.
