Angellica Bell did not personally choose to walk away from working with Martin Lewis – she has said she was effectively dropped from The Martin Lewis Money Show after ITV producers decided there was a “conflict of interest” with another programme she was doing.

What actually happened

  • Angellica co-hosted The Martin Lewis Money Show for about six years before her exit in 2023.
  • Shortly before filming a new series, she was told she was “no longer required” and was later replaced by former Olympian and broadcaster Jeanette Kwakye.
  • Producers reportedly felt that her work on Channel 5’s The Gadget Show (rebranded as Shop Smart, Save Money) clashed with her role on Martin Lewis’s ITV money show and created a conflict of interest.

How Angellica Bell has described it

Angellica has referred to it as a kind of “secret sacking” rather than a voluntary move, saying she was very hurt by how suddenly it happened and that it was “not [her] fault.”

She has talked about feeling sad that, after years of working closely with the team and audience, the decision came with no real goodbye, thanks, or proper send‑off.

Was there a feud with Martin Lewis?

  • Angellica has not accused Martin Lewis personally of pushing her out and has indicated there is no active feud between them.
  • Reports and commentary put the decision on ITV and the show’s producers, framing it as a business and branding call, not a personal fallout between the two presenters.

Latest news and forum chatter

Recent coverage (especially around her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2025) has brought the story back into the spotlight, with clips of her getting emotional while finally opening up about the exit.

Online forums and entertainment sites are full of discussion about whether the “conflict of interest” explanation was fair, but there is no public evidence that anything more scandalous happened behind the scenes.

TL;DR: Angellica Bell left Martin Lewis’s show because ITV producers decided her other consumer TV work created a conflict of interest and told her she was no longer needed, which she experienced as a painful and abrupt sacking rather than a choice.
