EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford who scooped £148m jackpot finds new love – and goes shopping at Tesco with girlfriend


EUROMILLIONS winner Adrian Bayford is pictured with his new girlfriend for the first time – as they go shopping together at Tesco.

The former postman, 52, who won £148 million in 2012, was seen smiling with ambulance worker Tracey Biles.

They piled a trolley full of shopping bags – including a loaf of bread – into the car after visiting their local supermarket on Sunday.

An onlooker said: “They both appeared to be very happy. It’s nice to see Adrian’s still humble enough to do the weekly shop at his nearest Tesco superstore.”

The couple have been together since last September when Tracey, 45, left her ex-boyfriend who bears an uncanny resemblance to Adrian.

Mark Newman, 56, believed they were in love and “happily settled” after instantly hitting it off in 2018 while working as bus drivers in Colchester, Essex.

But he claimed everything changed when they visited Adrian the following year as Tracey became “so flirty” and kept calling him “darling”.

The dad-of-four accuses the new couple of exchanging steamy sex messages before she moved out of their two-bed semi in September last year.

Mark said of our exclusive pictures last night: “Of course Adrian looks happy as he’s finally got what he wanted.

“It just goes to show what money can buy. He’s smiling like the cat who’s got the cream.

“They’re probably still shopping in Tesco despite having all that money as clearly neither of them have much taste, so to speak.

“I’m still really angry as clearly they don’t understand what they’ve done to me. I’m sure Karma will come back to bite them.

“But they’re not a thought in my head anymore.There’s more to life and more important things to focus on like my children and my work.”

Adrian has been unlucky in love since splitting from wife Gillian, 51, a year after hitting the jackpot and dividing their winnings.

He was later linked to Polish sausage factory worker Marta Jarosz, 30, who he employed as a bodyguard and assistant.

The ex-postie was engaged to stable girl Sam Burbidge and bought up to 30 thoroughbreds before walking out in January 2017.

Adrian started dating Frankie & Benny’s waitress Lisa Kemp, 46, in December that year before they split in 2018.

Close pal Richard Hudspith, who used to run Adrian’s record shop, the Suffolk Music Centre, said previously: “It’s hard for him. It’s a very unusual situation to be in.

“He got lucky. That’s all he did. Now he’s got all this unwanted attention.”

He became the second biggest UK Euromillions winner ever a year after Colin and Chris Weir, of Largs, Ayrshire, scooped £161million.

An anonymous ticket-holder currently holds the record after pocketing £195million in July 2022.

It trumped Joe and Jess Thwaite, of Gloucestershire, went public on their £184million win in May that year – and another anonymous £170million win in October 2019.

Multimillionaire lotto winner Adrian said yesterday from his £6.5million country estate at Linton, Cambs: “I am just getting on with my life”.
