Martin Lewis's New TV Partnership Raises Eyebrows

Every Tuesday evening, millions of viewers tune in to The Martin Lewis Money Show for trusted financial advice. Lately, though, chatter online isn’t just about rising bills or smart savings. Instead, it’s swirling around the show’s co-host shake-up: Jeanette Kwakye has stepped into the spotlight, and longtime fans want to know—where is Angelica Bell?

Kwakye started co-hosting the show alongside Martin Lewis back in October 2023, marking the start of its thirteenth series on ITV. The audience, which clocks in at a whopping four million viewers each week, quickly clocked the change. Social feeds lit up with questions: What prompted Angelica Bell’s exit? Who is this new face sharing the stage with Martin Lewis?

Meet Jeanette Kwakye: From Olympic Tracks to Primetime TV

If you’ve seen Jeanette Kwakye on TV and thought she looked familiar, you’re not wrong. Kwakye isn’t just another presenter—she’s a five-time British athletics champion with Olympic credentials. In fact, she made headlines in 2008 as the first British woman in 24 years to reach the Olympic 100m final in Beijing. Her competitive fire didn’t vanish after retiring from sprinting; it followed her into the world of broadcasting and media.

Kwakye started making waves off the track as a sports reporter and anchor. She notched up history as the first black female TV presenter to host a boxing event on a major UK terrestrial channel—Channel 5, to be exact. That landmark moment put her front and center for big sporting events, but her on-screen profile only grew from there.

The BBC tapped her talent too. Kwakye covered everything from the 2024 Paris Olympics to Women’s Super League football. She’s a familiar voice on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Weekend Breakfast, and she’s popped up on popular daytime shows like The One Show and Morning Live. In addition, her work with global powerhouses like Nike and Google paints the picture of a rising media star with energy to burn.

On top of that, Kwakye’s services to sport and media earned her an MBE. She’s outspoken and passionate about advocacy, often sharing insights about inclusion, opportunity, and representation—especially important as she takes on her new role on a mainstream financial advice show.

But what about Angelica Bell? There’s no official word explaining why she’s no longer at Martin Lewis’s side. Viewers are left speculating about her absence, remembering Bell’s calm, approachable presence that made her a natural counterpart to Lewis’s data-driven approach. Some fans have sent their well-wishes to Bell while others are giving Kwakye a warm welcome, eager to see what her mix of sports energy and broadcasting expertise brings to the table.

For now, Kwakye seems to be settling into her role, bringing quick wit and confidence to a series that deals with everything from debt solutions to the finer points of energy bills. As the new duo faces the pressures of live TV and the high expectations of loyal viewers, one thing’s clear: a fresh chapter is underway for ITV’s money-saving powerhouse, and all eyes are on where Kwakye and Lewis will take it next.
