DEATH OF THE BATH

BATHS are being ditched for showers to save money in the cost-of-living crisis.

More than half of us have swapped a long soak in the tub for a quick shower to help the environment and save cash, a study revealed.

It also found the average Brit has up to 10 showers a week - with a fifth taking an average of 12 minutes.

But 20% of folk miss long, hot, baths and wish they could afford to take more of them.

A spokesman for energy firm Utilita, said: "While the cost of heating up water is expensive, households are clearly keen to do what they can to save, including showering together to cut costs by half."
