It’s interesting to note that Donald’s win comes after his brother Davyth took home the second biggest prize which is £500,000 around this time last year on the quiz show.

Donald Fear handed in his notice as head of history at Haberdashers’ Adams grammar school in Shropshire the day after his win in the recorded show. He will see out the school term, then begin his retirement two years earlier than what he had planned.

He also intends to give 70 percent of his winnings from the quiz show away to his family members and to charity and leave himself with just enough for a ‘comfortable retirement’.
