A BRITISH Embassy worker suspected of selling secrets to Russia listed Wheel of Fortune as his favourite TV show.
David Smith, 57, who was held by spooks in Berlin last week, created a social media account under an alias.

In the “About” section, he said that he was “Anti Nato. Anti EU. Anti American”.
But he also listed the ITV game show, which ran from 1988 to 2001, as his favourite programme.
Smith was allegedly paid thousands by his Russian handlers for sensitive information from the UK’s Berlin embassy.
But he raised suspicion by paying for everything in cash — without making any withdrawals.
The ex-RAF serviceman is now being held at a supermax prison in Karlsruhe and could face ten years behind bars if found guilty.
