London - A mother of two, Mrs Kate Heusser, became the biggest female prize winner on British TV as she picked up £500,000 last night and quit her new post office job before she had even started.
The 44-year-old is only the second £500,000 winner on ITV's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? since it was launched 26 months ago.
She said she wanted to take her husband to a live Grand Prix, as well as buy a new home.
