One EuroMillions winner, who pocketed a £148million fortune with his wife, has reportedly opened a £110-a-night Airbnb in his back garden to top up his riches.
Adrian Bayford walked away with the eyewatering jackpot back in 2012, making him and his wife Britain’s biggest ever lottery winners at the time.
But the dad-of-two has now reportedly opened up an Airbnb in the back garden of his massive estate with the aim of topping up his huge fortune.
Since the news was first reported the listing has now seemingly been taken down.

After a series of relationship failures he moved up north to be closer to his children.
The property lay vacant for a few years, but Adrian had to up security last year on the 148-acre estate when squatters used his swimming pool.

The dad has been notoriously unlucky with love since he pocketed the money, having split up from his wife Gillian around 15 months after they won together.
She moved back to Scotland with her share of the winnings where she launched a company and has since remarried.
A second failed romance followed for Adrian, and a friend reportedly questioned if he understood just “how rich he really is” after the move.
