Andrew Fanko Takes £500,000 On Who Wants To Be A Millionaire After Declining £1 Million Question

His choice shows how AI-hit livelihoods can steer risk on the show.

Overview

  • Fanko, 44, reached the top question on ITV’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, which aired Sunday, then chose to lock in the guaranteed £500,000.
  • On an EGOT question, Ask the Audience split between Bette Midler and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and the correct answer proved to be Lloyd Webber.
  • He said both he and his wife work as translators hurt by AI squeezing freelance jobs, so the win brings a buffer and room to retrain.
  • The family plans a Norwegian fjords cruise, a Disneyland California trip for their daughter, a car for his wife, and paying down their mortgage.
  • The Market Harborough quizzer has appeared on Mastermind, Eggheads, Fifteen to One and Brain of Britain, and his run comes after Roman Dubowski’s £1 million win earlier in the series.
