The viewer wanted to know how she could help her brother get out of debt.

As Ben read out what had happened, Martin sighed in disbelief and then after he had finished, took a long pause before replying with: ‘I’m very sorry to hear it.

‘It’s just ridiculous that this is still going on.

‘It is ridiculous that the current government and past government have never had the balls to take on big tech and their scams.

‘They have not properly regulated them, they have not done what they need to do which is to make it more expensive for them to publish these scam ads with huge fines and huge levies against them if they do.’

He continued: ‘Right across the board there are scams everywhere.

‘See any ad with me in, I do not talk about crypto, I do not do advertising, I do not do investing.

‘Please do not touch it.’
