Euromillions winner who scooped £148m 'divorces second husband after spending eye-watering amount'

Gillian Bayford, 52, won a staggering £148 million alongside her then-husband Adrian in 2012 before the pair split up and she took her winnings back to her native Scotland

A Euromillions winner who bagged a hefty £148 million has divorced her second husband after spending an eye-watering £5million on him in seven years, it has been reported.

Multi-millionaire mum Gillian Bayford, 52, who bagged £148 million, gifted Brian Deans, 43, cars, watches and spending money. But she reportedly insisted her second husband and convicted fraudster Brian sign a pre-nuptial agreement to stop him from taking off with a chunk of her fortune. Now, new documents revealed their marriage came to an end last month with Brian's pals claiming he ended up with none of her winnings. One friend said: "She reckons she's so much better off than she was when she was with him."

"Now the divorce is final she's starting all over again and is delighted with how everything has worked out," she said, according to The Scottish Sun. Gillian has shared her recent life updates on social media.

She bagged her £148 million with her first husband Adrian Bayford in 2012. The pair split up after the win exposed rifts in their relationship and she left Suffolk for her native Scotland, taking her £74 million with her.

She ended up in a relationship with Brian and the pair ended up tying the knot in St Andrews in 2018. The pair have a daughter together but insiders claimed the marriage started to fall apart after he spent millions.

The outlet reported pals said she gave Brian a monthly allowance but that he argued it was not enough. She eventually kicked him out in March last year with the pre-nup meaning he could not get any of her money.

Documents revealed his house is held in a trust and, therefore, is not able to sell it. A pal told the outlet: "I'm not sure how happy Brian is with how it's all turned out. He's signed everything away and more or less walked away with nothing."

Brian currently runs a pub in Auchterarder, Perthshire. Euromillions has made many people wealthy since the proze was launched. A jackpot last month topped £202 million and was the largest prize in lotto history, operator Allwyn said.

The amount exceeded the record jackpot of £195 million on July 19, 2022. The £202 million would have made them twice as wealthy as Sir Andy Murray (£100 million), three times richer than Harry Kane (£75 million) and with more cash that pop star Adele (£175 million). The amount would also not put them far short of golfer Rory McIlroy, one of the richest young Brits on £225m, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

The UK's youngest ever lottery winner, Callie Rogers, who was just 16 when she became a millionaire, has warned of winning big too young, however. She called on the Government to raise the age limit for the game after she blew her entire £1.875m jackpot.
