The programme, The Secret Millionaire, will be on TV screens on Wednesday 28 November 2007.

Terry, 42, who owns a string of businesses including Leeds bar Fibre and club Mission, lived in a caravan for 10 days and worked on the minimum wage - in an old people's home, a chip shop and delivering meals on wheels.

Wealthy participants in the programme each agree to give away £30,000 to cash-strapped people they meet and get to know, the recepients of the money aren't aware of the real identity of their new friend.

Terry claims the experience was a eye opener, changing his outlook on life.

Terry George worked on the minimum wage.

The former DJ was born, and brought up, on a Leeds council estate and now lives in a £3m castle in West Yorkshire with his civil partner Michael Rothwell.

George publishes a gay lifestyle magazine, runs a directory inquiry service and has interests in property as well as his nightclubs. He also writes newspaper columns.

Channel 4 approached him out of the blue to appear in the programme. At first Terry was sceptical but changed his mind as he watched a DVD of the first series, seeing what a difference the money could make to people's lives.

"Channel 4 stuck me in a caravan in Cornwall but I quite liked it. It was rough in terms of having to live on a minimum wage. I wasn’t allowed to take any money, the programme even took my credit cards away. I had to beg and borrow tea bags, milk, bread and butter from my caravan site neighbours. A fisherman, brought me some freshly-caught fish.

"I did three jobs. I worked in a care home delivering meals on wheels, then an old people's home, then a chip shop where things were very physical - swinging bags of potatoes around. The hardest part for me was the old people’s home where I had to feed and change people who couldn’t look after themselves.

"I really admire people who do jobs like that. I found it very upsetting. It scared me. It made me think about how short life is and how every minute of every day counts."

Terry is not revealing who he gave money to during the course of the show.
