Charles Ingram Life

Born 1963, Charles William Ingram (born 1963) is an English former British Army major who became known for bribery on the television game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? In 2001, after winning the top prize of one million pounds, the winner was crowned.

Following a lengthy appeal at Southwark Crown Court, he was found guilty on a single count of procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception.

In 2004, Ingram was found guilty of an unrelated insurance scam and ordered to resign his service as a major by the Army Board.

Early life

Charles Ingram was born in Shardlow, Derbyshire, son of former RAF Wing Commander John Ingram and his wife, theatre set designer Susan Ingram, on September 6, 1963. His father's Wellington bomber, who was working with RAF Elsham Wolds, had been shot down in late September 1941; he was taken as a prisoner of war, but two members of his crew were killed.

When Ingram was young, he divorced, and the bulk of his education at Oswestry School in Oswestry, Shropshire, was privately funded. He served with the Combined Cadet Force and received the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. He then went on to obtain a BSc in civil engineering from Kingston University.

Personal life

When Ingram was studying to be a teacher at Barry College in Wales, she met him. During his first work with the Royal Engineers in Germany, the two became engaged. They were married in November 1989 and have three children.

In a 2010 accident involving a lawnmower, he lost three toes on his left foot.

Who wants to be a millionaire? Not me! Sixth contestant to win £1m jackpot on ITV quiz show gives away his fortune and is spending his retirement playing table tennis, snooker... and taking part in local pub quizzes

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 26, 2024
One of the only winners of the full seven-figure jackpot prize in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's 25 year history has quietly given away his fortune, we can reveal. Donald Fear (pictured), 61, from Shropshire became only the sixth contestant to win the big prize on the hugely popular ITV quiz show in 2020. But he only kept a fraction of his winnings - enough to fund a modest retirement - and gave away £700,000 of his million-pound windfall to family and friends. And Mr Fear even forgot to buy his wife anything at all from his winnings - except a £30 pair of walking boots.
