It’s reported that the joint winner of a £148,000,000 EuroMillions draw is set to move out of his seven-bedroom country manor to live with his mother.
Adrian Bayford, 54, who was working as a postman when he hit the jackpot in 2012 with his then-wife Gillian.
The Lancashire couple, bought the Grade II-listed Horseheath Lodge estate near Cambridge but their marriage would soon fall apart around a year later after winning. Bayford was later linked to several women, including one whom he was engaged to. He is currently engaged to his fiancee, Tracey Biles who is an ambulance worker.
The couple are allegedly moving in with Bayford’s 80-year-old mother at a nearby four-bed cottage which he bought her, according to The Sun.
A friend, who has not been named, told the newspaper: ‘He thinks he can just downsize and have a simple life and go back to how things used to be before he was mega rich”.
“The house he is leaving is one he bought with his ex Gillian and where he split from his other fiancées so it’s full of bad memories for him”.
“He loves Tracey. He loves his mum so it makes sense for them to all move in together”.
Last Month Adrian reportedly had plans to turn his estate into a children’s theme park which would feature an education centre last month. It would have included a train ride, renewable energy-themed play barn, maze and car park.
The project was said to have met strong opposition from locals and the parish council, who feared it wouldn’t fit with the area’s ‘rural character’ and would attract excessive traffic as well as being flood risks.
Cambridgeshire Council’s archaeological officer said: ‘The development
area has potential to contain prehistoric remains with a cropmarks indicating the presence of ring ditch to the adjacent north.’
