Read our privacy policy Charles Ingram, the army major in the Who Wants to be a Millionaire trial, appeared in court yesterday accused of fiddling his insurance. On the second count, Ingram is accused of having taken out a policy with Direct Line insurance in July 2001 by lying about the number of insurance claims he had made in the previous three years. The major, his wife, and a college lecturer, Tecwen Whittock, received suspended sentences last month after Ingram scooped the £1m prize in Who Wants to be a Millionaire, aided by Whittock's coughs.
