Martin, 45, shared his thoughts during an appearance on This Morning after a caller asked what would happen to his pension savings when Britain leaves the EU.
Brexit has caused the UK market to become more unpredictable, with the pound experiencing a slump since the referendum result was announced.
Two years ago the UK currency was at around €1.539 to the pound, and now currently it is at €1.093.
But what does this mean for pensions in the UK?
Martin said there is no need to panic. He explained: “Pensions move up and down all the time, it’s just like house prices, the only day that really matters is the day you sell, when you cash it in.

“You are allowed to opt out, and if you do, effectively people are giving away a massive pay rise and its a real warning to people to not just do this thinking ‘oh I don’t really wanna be bothered with that.
“When you’re opted in, not only do you save to your pension, but by law, your employer has to put in too.
“The problem comes when you see less in your take home, and many people who are struggling say ‘I really need the money, I’m not going do to it, I’m going to take that money out because I need a bigger pay packet.
