Mr Sunak will address the Commons on Wednesday with his plan to fix the the country’s finances in light of the coronavirus crisis.
Mr Lewis is asking for viewers to send in their questions from the Budget so he can put them to Mr Sunak to explain how it will impact household finances.
The MoneySavingExpert founder tweeted: “Delighted to confirm I’ll be talking to the Chancellor on Thurs morning, after the budget, for @itvmlshow that evening.
“I only have around 10mins though, so careful prioritisation will be needed, to try and get answers.
“Clearly though there will be much I won’t have time for.”
Last week on his show, Mr Lewis challenged the Chancellor to join him in the hot seat for the following week’s instalment.
He said: “Mr Sunak, if you’re watching I’d love you here on the 4th March if you possibly can.
“I’ll give you the whole programme, me and you talk. We’ll put people’s questions to you.”
He added: “”#RishiComeTalkToMartin please, I’d love to see you.”
Today, the MP for Richmond replied to his request on Twitter: “See you on Thursday #MartinComeTalkToMe”.
On last week’s TV show, Martin promised to talk to Mr Sunak about the stamp duty holiday and what a possible extension will mean for homebuyers and sellers.
He also said he’d address the loopholes in the Chancellor’s Covid support that has left many excluded from the self-employed grants and furlough.
Despite The Martin Lewis Money Show being filmed live every week, the Chancellor’s segment will be pre-recorded.
It is expected to last around 10 minutes – almost half of the money guru’s 23-minute TV show.
You’ll be able to tune into the conversation on ITV’s The Martin Lewis Money Show at 8:30pm on March 4, 2021.
