    I think he is more worried about what everyone else thinks.

    Following on from yesterday’s TV is frustrating blog, this morning on GMTV I was much happier with my performance. Yet I can’t believe what just happened.

    The One O’Clock news

    I rarely do BBC TV, as I tend to be seen as a face of ITV and Five. So it was a surprise to be invited today to talk about gas prices. Amidst the chat, here’s the scene (as best I remember, it was very quick):

    ML: Two weeks ago I said cap and there were THREE caps left.
    Action: Holding up three fingers.

    ML: Then earlier this week there were only TWO.
    Action: Holding up two fingers.

    ML: Now there’s just ONE and it could go any minute.
    Action: I started to put one finger down, then realized that left just my middle finger stuck up with the front of my hand facing the camera. So in a flash (I hope) I changed it to my index finger…

    I’ve already had texts from friends who noticed…. Ooops. Still you never know I might make it on “It shouldn’t happen to a Money Saving Expert”
