Good Morning Britain was interrupted by Charlotte Hawkins as she delivered breaking news.The 49 year old joined Kate Garraway and Paul Brand on the ITV show to share the latest headlines, including the announcement from energy regulator Ofgem that the price cap on gas and electricity costs will increase next year.

As of January, the average annual energy bill in England, Scotland, and Wales will rise to £1,738, resulting in a £21 or £1.75 per month increase.This new rise will further strain household finances in the UK.

Charlotte stated: "Breaking news in the last few minutes. Ofgem has revealed the typical fuel energy bill from January will be £1,738 a year.That is an increase of £21 from the current level." According to the charity National Energy Action, the price cap rise will lead to vulnerable households accumulating more debt to stay warm.Tim Jarvis, Ofgem's director general of markets, commented: "While today's change means the cap has remained relatively stable, we understand that the cost of energy remains a challenge for too many households." He advised customers to explore options to reduce their bills, saying, "However, with more tariffs coming into the market, there are ways for customers to bring their bill down so please shop around and look at all the options." He elaborated: "Our reliance on volatile international markets - which are affected by factors such as events in Russia and the Middle East – means the cost of energy will continue to fluctuate.
