'I'm not doing tips on saving money on razor blades!' Martin Lewis sports thick grey stubble as he explains he has had dental surgery and can't shave

He normally has a clean shaven appearance when offering his expert advice during the financial segments on This Morning.

Yet Martin Lewis was looking suitably more rugged on Thursday morning, as he sported a smattering of thick grey stubble during his appearance.

The consumer specialist, 48, explained that the reason behind his different appearance was because he is unable to shave due to recent dental surgery.

Joking about his rugged-looking face, Martin said: 'Before anyone says it no I'm notdoing tips on saving money on razor blades without shaving...

'I had dental sugery - hence the lisp - last week.

'I can't actually touch my top lip at the moment. And you'll have to forgive me for not speaking as clearly as normal everybody, sorry.'

 It comes after it was announced Martin is set to join Susanna Reid as a guest host on Good Morning Britain, as the show continues its roster of co-anchors following Piers Morgan's exit earlier this year.

Martin - known for his Money Saving Expert franchise - said he was 'stoked' to be joining the team, having been a longstanding face on ITV's various morning shows.

While only a three-day stint (June 28 to June 30), there are rumblings of Martin, coming back for more, should he impress viewers.

'For 15 years I loved answering questions on Good Morning Britain. Now I'm stoked about getting the chance to ask them,' he said in a statement about the gig.

'While I hope to set the agenda on key consumer issues like scams and the financially excluded, I'm also up for the challenge of spreading my wings on all subjects.

'And when it comes to holding power to account, I always play fair with a straight bat, but that doesn't stop me swinging it hard.'

Money Saving Expert was founded in 2003 and was sold in 2012 for a staggering £87 million.

GMB Editor Neil Thompson said of Martin: 'He is a journalist and broadcaster at the top of his game. Trust has been and continues to be hugely important throughout the pandemic. And I can't think of many people more trustworthy than Martin Lewis.'

Since Piers left the show amid a row concerning Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Oprah interview, which aired in March, a rotation of co-hosts have joined remaining anchor Susanna.

The likes of Bill Turnbull - formally Susanna's BBC Breakfast co-star - as well as Alastair Campbell, Richard Madeley and Adil Ray have also been stepping into the role, yet no long-term replacement has been assigned yet.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6AM on ITV and on ITV Hub.
