When his solicitor arrived to read his will at Dot’s house, she didn’t think she was left anything but interrupted to say she would have liked a scarf.

Instead she was left shocked when she was told Dr Legg had left her his Golders Green estate worth millions.

Later she insisted she didn’t need the money, but it didn’t stop her making plans for it.

She said: “I don’t need all that money Sonia. I mean maybe some so I could buy this house off the council.

“And I could help Charlie and his family. And Dotty my little granddaughter, and you and Robbie.”
