EuroMillions winner 'moves to Scotland to be close to ex-wife because he's lonely'

EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford has reportedly quit his £10m mansion to move near his ex-wife in Scotland because he's 'lonely'.

The 49-year-old landed a whopping £148m seven years ago before Scots wife left him 15 months later and upped sticks to Dundee with their two kids.

Gillian, 47, claimed their relationship had broken down "irretrievably" when she called an end to their eight-year marriage.

It's believed that former postie Adrian has now bought himself a four-bed detached home in Dundee to be near his children , according to The Mirror .

Removal vans were seen outside his pricey home in Suffolk before he was driven up north of the border by his parents, it is claimed.

Friends said his new home is within walking distance of his ex-wife - who married convicted fraudster Brian Deans - and the kids.

Claiming Mr Bayford "hasn't been happy for a while", a source told the Sun: "He's got all this money and he's finally worked out what he wants to do with it all - be near his kids and their mum."

"He's been through a string of break-ups there and people have taken advantage of him. The money made him lonely.

"It had reached the stage where he was just sat around watching sport and eating."

The source claims the £10million mansion, which Mr Bayford purchased with his ex-wife after their lottery win, was full of sad memories for him.

But Mr Bayford, who once ran a music store, insisted on Friday night that he was not moving to Scotland and instead planning to follow his dream of moving to Australia.

After Mr Bayford's marriage ended, he got engaged to stable girl Samantha Burbidge, then 27, after a six-week relationship.

But their relationship didn't last long and resulted in Ms Burbidge walking out in January 2017.

Mr Bayford, originally from Haverhill, Suffolk, was later reportedly dumped by waitress Lisa Kemp after she found messages to former flame Marta Jarosz.
