A third added: "Thank you for a good,informative show. Looking for better interest rates on savings. Happy birthday to your daughter x."

Martin, 50, and Lara, 43, also a TV presenter, have been married since May 2009. The couple share one child together, daughter Sapphire, who was born in 2012, and rarely talk about her.

During the pandemic, however, Martin opened up about his "little girl", who seems to have him wrapped around her little finger.

The couple married in 2009 and welcomed their daughter three years later

Speaking to The Sunday Times back in 2020, the money expert confessed that he finds it really hard to say no to his daughter because he just wants to "make her happy".

"When my daughter was born, I remember saying: 'I'll buy her everything she needs, but not everything she wants'. Unfortunately, I didn't factor in her special power. Those eyes," he said.

"I'm helpless and usually resort to saying, 'Ask mummy', because mummy is stronger than me. We don't splurge on her, but one of my greatest joys is making her happy," he proudly said of his only child.
