MoneySavingExpert's Martin Lewis appeals for help to find missing Norwich teacher Anthony Hill

Home finance guru Martin Lewis has appealed for help to find a former colleague who has been reported missing, echoing calls from the man's family to find him.

Anthony Hill, 37, from Thorpe St Andrew near Norwich, had worked on Mr Lewis's MoneySavingExpert website before retraining to become a primary school teacher.

He was last seen leaving his home on Plumstead Road East at 7.45am, but his school St William's Primary said later that day that he had been reported missing, and police have appealed to the public.

Mr Lewis, posting on X, described the news as "devastating", and urged his followers to share the appeal.

"Anthony is a lovely man who used to work on the MoneySavingExpert deals team before leaving to pursue his valiant passion to get into teaching.

"I hope and pray he's OK. Please please spread word."

Mr Hill's wife appealed on Facebook for people to review any doorbell camera or dashcam footage from the area.

Police described Mr Hill as white, 5ft 7 inches tall, of a slim build and with short brown hair.

He was last seen wearing brown chino trousers, a black checked shirt, a green coat and a yellow rucksack.

Police said they were concerned for Mr Hill's welfare and would like to hear from anyone who has seen him or knows where he is.

Anyone with any information should contact police on 101, quoting incident number NC-17062024-507.
