“We’ve had our usual cash prizes this week, but you can also earn extra money to pay your energy bills until the end of the year,” said program host Philip Schofield on air. solved.”
Her colleague Holly Willoughby responded to the ad by saying, “Wow, this is really important today.”
A viewer calling in from North London is lucky to win a new award. In January, he admitted that paying electricity bills was “great” and “really convenient” because his prepaid meter was an “absolute crime.”
With wholesale gas prices rising by another 30% following Gazprom’s decision to shut down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline indefinitely, some online commentators cheered the winner and insisted that the offer actually helped people.
However, this view is not universally shared, with many saying that paying energy bills has become a prize on a TV show is a sign that life in the UK is becoming “miserable”.
One viewer wrote that it was “so sad” to turn the energy crisis into an entertainment show, while another suggested that meal vouchers and school uniforms should be added to the wheel.
Economic constraints in Europe caused by the “Covid-19” pandemic have been exacerbated by Western sanctions imposed on Moscow as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent decrease in Russian natural gas supplies to the European Union . Although the UK is not directly dependent on Russia for energy, it continues to suffer from high prices on the global market.
