Martin Lewis' wife Lara Lewington's show Click axed by BBC after 15 years

Tech expert Lara Lewington has confirmed that the BBC technology programme Click, which she presents has gone - with fans left devastated

Martin Lewis has spoke out following the cancellation of his wife Lara Lewington's show by the BBC. Lara, 45, who previously served as a weather expert on Channel 5 and is known for her tech expertise, regularly appeared on the BBC technology programme Click.

Click, a weekly BBC television programme that covered technology news and recent developments in the world of technology and the Internet, was axed, as revealed by Lara today. In a post on X, she shared: "Here's to the future... some PERSONAL NEWS: After 15 years of covering some of the greatest technology on earth, sadly in a few months BBC Click will gaze into the future no more. I've many exciting plans, documentaries to finish, being AI agony aunt on @lorraine and a compelling future health tech related project coming next year."

Lara expressed her gratitude to the BBC for the opportunity, stating: "The BBC gave us an amazing opportunity to cover the tech that has, and will transform our lives, in ways we could never have imagined. It is a shame to see our dear show come to an end at this moment of AI transformation and incredible acceleration in innovation and possibility, but such are the economic constraints."

She added: "Over the years I have worked with some of the most brilliant, talented, creative and quirky characters that I am happy to call the Click family My co-host @spenley has been the cleverest and most generous colleague I could have dreamt of. As always for any tech journalist, I'm excited about what comes next.."

Martin expressed his support for his wife, stating: "Very proud husband here. And in no doubt, one door closing will see many more open."

Fans quickly shared their dismay, with one commenting: "Click has consistently been one of the BBC's best outputs. Sad to see it go."

Another chimed in: "Oh FFS Click AND Hardtalk, when is the BBC moving to a Ceefax format instead of a news channel? " Sports presenter Gabby Logan complimented Lara: "You are brilliant at what you do Lara the world needs you explaining and bringing them the intel on new technology."

Echoing the sentiment, another fan remarked: "Very sorry to hear this, another own goal from the BBC. Hopefully Amazon or another broadcaster can pick it up. All the best."

Lara, known for her expertise in technology journalism and artificial intelligence, is reported to have begun her relationship with Martin circa 2005 while she was a reporter for Five News. The couple has a daughter who was born in 2012.
