Martin Lewis addresses ITV Good Morning Britain fans after they share pleas for him to host permanently

Martin Lewis has had to let his fans down gently after they made pleas to Good Morning Britain to keep him as a host permanently.

The money guru has been back on the ITV news programme this week as he hosted the show alongside Susanna Reid after a few previous stints in the hot seat.

"Pls pls pls can @martinlewis and @adilray be main @GMB presenters?? ! can't watch Mon-Wed when ghastly, tactless, Richard Madeley is on. He's got no depth of knowledge and is unwatchable. The other two have empathy and interesting backgrounds. #gmb," @SunderlandLolly tweeted

"Please keep @MartinSLewis on as a presenter. He is so knowledgeable and able to take people to task," @KateS03542709 begged.

But Martin has since shared some bad news. The Money Saving Expert founder took to Twitter after appearing on Thursday's GMB to thank
