"Charles William Ingram
In 2001 Charles William Ingram won a £ million on the show but was later denied the winnings when it was proven in court that he had cheated with his wife who was in the audience sending signals to him by coughing a specific intervals to indicate which was the correct answer."
I watched a program about him a few years ago, and I remember it very well. The questions in the competition had four options, A-D. His wife in the audience searched the information with her mobile phone, and when he repeated the options, she - as you said - coughed giving the right choice. Fascinating.

Another incident that befell Ingram was when he dramatically sliced off three of his toes in a garden lawnmower accident.
