Martin Lewis Money Show viewers express outrage over Angellica Bell's sudden departure

Popular presenter disappears from the series

Viewers of the Martin Lewis Money Show have expressed their disappointment and confusion over the sudden absence of co-host Angellica Bell. Since 2017, Bell has been a staple on the show, but when series 13 premiered last month, she was nowhere to be seen.

'Secret sacking' controversy

The Celeb Report recently revealed that Angellica Bell was informed just days before filming that she would no longer be required for the show. Producers allegedly claimed that her appearance on Channel 5's The Gadget Show, now known as Shop Smart, Save Money, represented a conflict of interest.

Fans take to social media

Online backlash ensued as fans of the show questioned Bell's sudden departure. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and call for her return. One fan tweeted, "Where's @angellicabell? Bring her back!" while another wrote, "Wasn't the same without @angellicabell."

Angellica's contribution to the show

Angellica Bell joined the Martin Lewis Money Show in 2017 and played a significant role in the program's success, even earning a TV BAFTA nomination for her work. However, neither Bell nor the show's producers have officially commented on her exit, leaving fans speculating about the reasons behind her departure.

New addition to the show

Former Olympian Jeanette Kwakye has been brought in as Angellica Bell's replacement on the Martin Lewis Money Show. Martin Lewis himself expressed excitement about Kwakye joining the team, stating that her expertise and presence in the studio will help tackle pressing financial issues.

With the show addressing the ongoing cost of living crisis, including rising energy bills and car insurance renewals, Martin Lewis believes that Jeanette Kwakye's unique perspective as a former Olympic sprinter will be a valuable addition to the program.
