Major Charles Ingram - the man at the centre of a police investigation into the ITV quiz show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? - is to sue the programme for his ?m winnings, plus legal costs and interest.
Major Ingram instructed solicitors Morgan Cole to take legal action on Tuesday in respect of what he called “the dishonoured cheque” from Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? Ltd.
The programme makers refused to pay Major Ingram after suspicious coughs from the audience on last week’s show.
Morgan Cole issued the claim form on Tuesday afternoon.
In a statement, Morgan Cole said: “Mr Ingram has reluctantly taken this important legal step, but feels his hand has been forced by the non disclosure of the allegations against him.
“Mr Ingram hopes he will be vindicated by the successful conclusion of this claim.”
The allegation of iregularities, made on 14 September, was immediately and strenuously denied by Major Ingram, 38, of Upavon, Wiltshire.
