This Morning host Phillip Schofield offers to pay worried pensioner's huge energy bill

mirror.co.uk:

This Morning host Phillip Schofield made a moving gesture on the show on Thursday, as he offered help to a 73-year-old viewer who had been handed a huge energy bill.

The viewer had recently switched to another energy provider only to be told she needed to pay over £700. Sharing her age, the caller revealed she did not understand how to do metre readings so never gave one, until her usage was calculated when leaving the supplier.

But she was horrified when, on top of the payments she was already making, she received a bill for £701.85. Martin Lewis was hosting his usual segment on the show regarding money issues and questions, so the caller called in for his help.
