Richard Warnock and his wife Jacqueline found a total of just under £11m in their two accounts but their millionaire status only lasted a few hours.

A husband and wife thought they had "hit the jackpot" after a banking error saw them receive £11m in stocks and shares.

The 56-year-old told the Record: "For a couple of hours there, I thought this might be real and we'd hit the jackpot! It was like winning the EuroMillions! "We started thinking one of our company investments had gone through the roof overnight as is the nature with the stock market and this could be genuine."

The couple, who share two children, had been using their accounts for a self-invested private pension and a Stocks & Shares ISA.
