We all know of Tecwen Whittock as the man who helped Charles Ingram cheat to win the million on that infamous night. Ironically, as we all know, he went into the hot seat straight after him. We only saw one question of Whittock's run during the Major Fraud documentary, but I came across videos showing his full run, so now you can watch it yourself, enjoy!

Ironically Coincidentally, as we all know, he went into the hot seat straight after him. There, fixed that for you. Sorry, but misuse of "ironically" is a pet peeve of mine. "Ironic" would be the fact that the man who helped someone cheat their way to $1 million could only win $1,000 for himself. |

The fact that he didn't cough at all during his run up the money tree makes it pretty difficult for me to believe that he wasn't helping the major win the million. The only thing I can think of is that during the break before Chris revealed the £1m answer he took a cough drop or something.

As someone who is battling a cough at this very moment, I can say that a cough drop is not enough to reduce your coughs to zero. |

I guess this is what you call pre-ordained Karma? Seriously, though, I guess that's what he gets for helping Ingram cheat his way to the Million, even though at the time, nobody was aware of it.

To be honest, I can't stand cheaters. But I kinda wish Charles Ingram ended up getting a question neither knew, just to see his face when he realize there's no coughing going on. Even if for a split second.

Even if for a split second. Funny you mention that, as there were a few questions that Whittock didn't know the answer to and couldn't cough it. He either asked FFF contestants next to him, and Ingram's wife coughed on one of the questions. |

Oh really? I wasn't aware of that. Yeesh, this was an incredibly convoluted plan they had, I'm surprised they didn't get caught mid way through.
