Last month, in a separate lottery win, we reported another Scots Euromillions winner who scooped a hefty £148 million had divorced her second husband after spending an eye-watering £5million on him in seven years. Multi-millionaire mum Gillian Bayford, 52, gifted Brian Deans cars, watches and spending money. However, she reportedly insisted the 43-year-old convicted fraudster must sign a pre-nuptial agreement to stop him from taking off with a chunk of her fortune. As reported by the Sun, documents revealed their marriage came to an end in the month previous 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." It's understood Gillian has shared her recent life updates on social media. She scooped £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 tied 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, who currently runs a pub in Auchterarder, Perthshire, a monthly allowance but that he argued it was not enough. It's understood 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."
