Anthony, who went missing on Monday in Norwich, used to work with Martin at Money Saving Expert before changing jobs and becoming a primary school teacher.

Police today revealed a man’s body had tragically been found last night in the hunt for the dad-of-two.

Sharing the cops’ latest update, Martin wrote on X: “It’s with a heavy heart I share this. My love to Ant’s wife Kayleigh and their little girls.

“It’s the worst news. I’m so sorry for all Ant’s friends and his little pupils. I will remember you fondly Ant.

“Also thanks to the thousands of you who shared the posts while Ant was missing, I know it gave succour to his family. RIP”

Anthony, dad of two daughters aged six and four, was last seen on the morning of his 37th birthday as he left his home in Thorpe St Andrew at around 7.45am.

CCTV snaps before he disappeared showed him at a Co-op store on Sprowston Road at 9.58am.

Norfolk Police today said: “Police can confirm the body of a man was found in Norwich last night.

“The body was discovered in an area off Heathgate in the city shortly before 8pm.

“Whilst formal identification is yet to take place, the family of 37-year-old Anthony Hill, who was reported missing from his home in Norwich on Monday have been informed.

“The death is not believed to be suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner in due course.”

Anthony’s heartbroken wife, Kayleigh Hill, 36, had helped organise a search with worried locals.

In an emotional message posted on Facebook earlier this week, she wrote: “Anyone who has any spare time to help is so much appreciated, I’ll be out there today we need to find my girls’ daddy.”

She added: “Please keep looking, please Ant if you see any of this please come home, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been gone just come home we love you and need you back.”

Martin Lewis had also issued his own appeal on social media to raise awareness.

“Anthony is a lovely man who used to work on the MoneySavingExpert deals team before leaving to pursue his valiant passion the get into teaching. I hope and pray he’s OK.

“Please please spread word.”
