The woman used the broadband package on his Vodafone mobile phone to order the programs, which would have been free had the download taken place in Britain.
However, her husband flew to Germany on business while the download was still in progress and it resumed after he touched down, incurring the massive fees.
The pair, who has not been named, discovered the unwelcome bill after the executive arrived back in the UK and Vodafone called his firm to alert him.
