MARTIN Lewis made an awkward camera blunder during his appearance on Good Morning Britain earlier today.
The 46-year-old was introducing his Deals Of The Week segment of the but ended up turning to face the wall to say goodbye.
The financial expert finished off his speech as he announced he was 'looking at the right camera' and away from the screen, before awkwardly ending with his back to the audience.
Martin then immediately span around as he appeared to realise what he had done, raising his eyebrows and walking sheepishly off set as the programme cut to a break.
Despite the presenter's GMB blunder it's clear he has a lot on his mind after his appearance on Loose Women yesterday.
The Money Saving Expert opened up about his childhood grief after losing his mother when he was just 11.
When quizzed by the panel on whether he wished he had the opportunity to seek counselling following the tragic events, Martin replied: "Of course."
He added: "And that's what this is all about. I am still now, 35 odd years later, deeply scarred by what happened to me.
"It was a defining moment of my life that changed the way I act and behave and it was devastating.
"We didn't know what to do. This was the mid 80s, you just didn't do that type of thing and my sister, my father and I were incredibly wounded for such a long time."
Getting tearful, he also admitted to the panel that he didn't particularly want to be on the show talking about it.
He said: "I have to tell you, I so don't want to be here right now but sometimes when you have a voice you have a responsibility and that's why I am here, so forgive me going defensive on you but I am trying."
He added: "There's so much that you have to learn about grief, I was talking about somebody the other day in this sense and I said one of the lessons I learnt is you feel guilty about being happy.
"I remember for years feeling guilty for being happy because why should I be happy, and actually my philosophy now is you grab every moment that you can possibly have."
Martin concluded that by speaking on the panel show he hoped that the grief helpline could help a young person to go and get counselling to ensure that they weren't left scarred by losing a parent at a young age like he had been.
Last year, the money guru broke down as he discussed his mum's death for the first time during an interview on BBC Radio 5.
The presenter described hearing about the horse riding tragedy that killed her when he was 11 — saying: "That was the end of my childhood".
