Needless to say, no one ever lost £468,000, BUT one £1,000,000 question was answered wrong! At least, that's what the TV showed. In one of the last GOOD episodes of UK Millionaire, a celebrity duo got up to the £1,000,000 question. I can't remember the question, but they chose the answer, I think it was 'In God We Trust'. Then Chris said that answer was wrong. Then, the scene changes, and Chris is like "So that's the story," and explains how EVERYBODY thought the question was a set-up. So they brought back the celebrity duo, and this time, they walked away from the new question, with £500,000 for their charities.
Has anyone heard about this? Has it mysteriously appeared on YouTube? Also, I know for certain that the '£1,000,000 Lose' music was NOT played at the time, I think it was the '£32,000 Lose' one instead. So, who's heard of it?

I've never seen or heard of this before. Can you find any clips of it anywhere?

No, the only time I've seen it was on the TV.. that's why I asked, has it mysteriously appeared on YouTube?

There's a bit on it on UKGameShows:
"On a Valentine's Day celebrity special shown on 11 February 2006 (which is not Valentine's Day), Laurence and Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen (playing for the Shooting Star Children's Hospice) reached the £1,000,000 question. They were asked: "Translated from the Latin, what is the official motto of the United States?" The Bowens went for 'In God We Trust', and in so doing lost their charity a stonking £468,000, the correct answer being 'One Out of Many', from the Latin 'E pluribus unum'. However! It was later decided that the question was ambiguous, since 'In God We Trust', while not from any Latin source, is used as a motto for the US. In fact 'E Pluribus Unum' was never codified by law, and was only a de facto motto until 1956 (when 'In God We Trust' took over), so technically there is no correct answer to that question. So Laurence and Jackie were given another £1,000,000 question ("Who was the first person to go into space twice?") which they did not attempt to answer, leaving with £500,000. The oddest thing about the whole affair was that the incorrect question was broadcast, despite the fact that the error had come to light before the show was due to be transmitted. "
