Coughing on Millionaire show 'would be silly'

A college lecturer told a jury today that he did not help an Army major cheat his way to the top prize on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? because it would have been “silly”.

Tecwen Whittock, who is accused of using coded coughs to guide the Royal Engineer to the top prize, said such “criminal behaviour” carried with it the “likelihood I could get caught”.
