Police searching for a missing former colleague of MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis who vanished on Monday have found a body.

Anthony Hill, 37, who disappeared from Norwich on Monday morning, used to work on the deals team at the financial website founded by Lewis before going into teaching.

The father-of-two worked for the company for almost six years – but then retrained as a teacher and now works at St William’s Primary School in Thorpe St Andrew.

The former journalist was last seen leaving his home on Plumstead Road East at 7.45am on June 17 – and the school later said that he had been reported as missing.

A statement from Norfolk Police said: ‘Police can confirm the body of a man was found in Norwich last night.
