And according to one money-saving guru, there's a quick and easy way you can make your rooms warmer without spending any more money on heating.

The answer? A roll of 30p kitchen tin foil.
TikTok user @the.cosyclub, who regularly shares cheap house hacks online, shared a video where he quipped: "Gas companies are going to hate this life hack."
In the clip, he suggests "grabbing your tin foil" and wrapping it around "an old piece of cardboard" to make it "more sturdy."
Then, he says to simply place it behind the back of the radiator and "enjoy the heat."
