Default Would you like a debt/relationship makeover from Martin?

What's this about?

ITV1's Tonight programme is making a special shows and would like to hear from people who would like to take part in the programme.

Who are they looking for?


The show focuses on the growing number of people who feel forced to remain in a relationship because they think they can't survive alone financially. This is a unique opportunity to get help from both Martin & a relationship counsellor who will come and meet you to discuss the issues and see what they can do.

By taking part in either programme as well as hopefully helping yourself, many others will benefit too.

How do I apply?

If any of the above fit the bill please contact joanna.gretton@granadamedia.com with your name, address, phone number and some basic details and of course you need to be prepared to be on television talking about these issues.

What if I don't get picked?

There's lots of free help available on the site. For those staying in a relationship purely because of finances, the best place to start is the Debt Help guide.

Hmm i am the opposite end of scale as I couldn't really afford to split from relationship but felt it had to be done so made the break back in July this year, so i am now a single parent who is struggling to make ends meet but getting by. You reckon they would be interested in hearing from those who have took the plunge and what the outcome is ?

What a really good idea for a show. I'm the opposite end. Split up but I've actually come out the other side ok because of DFW and it taught me so much I was able to sort and manage my finances without any reprucussions.



Officially an Emotard and not planning on changing.
Love me as I am or not at all!
