Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis previously revealed that he cried every day for three years after losing his mother after she was involved in a tragic horse-riding accident. The Good Morning Britain star, who gives people money-saving advice and tips, opened up about the moment he was told about his mother's sad death when he was just 11 years old.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live in 2018, Martin said it was just three days before his 12th birthday when he got picked up from school by “someone strange” and taken home. Martin said: “I knew them but it wasn't what I was expecting.” Speaking about the tragic incident, Martin said: "When I got home I had been told there had been an accident - my mum had been horse-riding with my sister and there had been an accident involving a lorry.
Nobody told me how serious it was." The TV star then added that he was worried about his mum being in hospital and missing his birthday, but was reassured by his grandmother that his mum wouldn’t miss his Bar mitzvah. Martin then said: “The next day my dad told me she had died that morning - and that was the end of my childhood that moment.
I cried every day until I was 15." Describing it as the “defining moment” that changed his life, the heartbreak of the incident led to him isolating himself throughout his teenage years, and becoming “brittle”. Martin then said it wasn’t until he was married and had a daughter of his own that he was able to cope with Mother’s Day.
Although it was a heartbreaking time for Martin, he credits many of his successes to losing his mother, as he became “bullish” and unafraid of people, or things, hurting him as he has already been through the worst time. Martin studied at Cardiff University Centre for Journalism
