Who Wants to be a Millionaire? cheat Tecwen Whittock’s attempt to make a few bucks on the after-dinner speaking circuit is looking like a non-starter.
Whittock recently announced that he would be “available for any occasions which require a speaker in the UK or abroad”.

“There’d be nothing positive to take away from a Tecwen Whittock speech.”
