Winnings: £1,000,000 Charles Ingram, a former British Army major, became embroiled in a UK scandal after being one of the few contestants to win the maximum prize of £1,000,000 on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Ingram had his winning payout suspended, after suspicions arose that he was working with one or more accomplices in order to hit the million jackpot. A highly publicised trial took place over the course of four weeks, resulting in Charles Ingram, his wife Diana Ingram and another accomplice named Tecwen Whittock all being convicted of "procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception." It was alleged that Whittock had coughed while Ingram pondered different answers out loud in order to signal the correct one. As well as being refused the winnings and being convicted, Ingram was forced to resign from his position in the Army.
