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.”
