Grosvenor is a trustee of the Clink charity and has invested several hundred thousand pounds in the start up costs. We meet for lunch in the Clink restaurant, the fine dining eatery at High Down prison in Surrey, which provides high-level catering training for prisoners. As impressive as her prison-related activities are however, the big question for me is: why? Since then she has sat in on prisoner adjudications, been involved in restorative justice sessions and spent a year as a support worker in the notorious Styal women's prison in Cheshire. Aged 22, she commissioned research into the multiple needs of ex-offenders. Her work, which began when she spent part of her gap year working in Kathmandu Central prison in Nepal when she was 18, has taken her into more than 50 prisons in the UK and abroad. But over the past 12 years, the second daughter of Britain's richest landowner (the Duke of Westminster, 7th on Britain's Rich List with a fortune of around £7.3bn) has been quietly establishing a role for herself as a discreet but potent champion of prison reform. And while WWTBAM has been up and down in popularity since it first made a huge splash, it has seen a number of different hosts along the way who've breathed new life into the 17-year-old show.Ĭasual fans of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ' can likely name the two most popular hosts of the show, but did you know that there have actually been four hosts so far? Here are all of the personalities who have hosted the show, from first to most recent.Born into almost unimaginable wealth and privilege, Lady Edwina Grosvenor is not someone you might expect to bump into on a prison landing. However, the true joy of the show comes from the interaction each of the program's hosts had with its guests. If they answer correctly, perhaps with the help of one of three lifelines, they will win a check for $1,000,000.

The show features a number of contestants answering a series of increasingly difficult questions worth increasingly more money until they answer a final million-dollar question. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire started out as a breakout 1999 prime-time program, paving the way for lots of other glitzy, large production before its syndication in 2002.
