A Carnoustie woman who scooped a massive £148million lottery jackpot with her then husband is reported to have re-married in a quiet ceremony at a luxury Fife hotel.
Gillian Bayford hit the headlines in 2012 when she and her husband Adrian won the second biggest prize in EuroMillions history.
Gillian went on to use the money to help families across Courier Country but the sudden great wealth did not bring the couple happiness and their nine-year marriage broke down in 2013.
A year later she got engaged to car dealer Alan Warnock, but they split after three years.
She is then reported to have embarked on a relationship with former school friend Gavin Innes, 44, which ended in November last year.
A short time later romance blossomed again for the mum of two, who is understood to have splashed out on a mansion at Newport, Fife, when she met up with old friend Brian Deans.
The Scottish Sun reported that they walked down the aisle as a married couple at the Fairmont, St Andrews, six years to the day after Gillian learned she had scooped the jackpot.
She has supported a number of charitable causes in the years since her big win.
Earlier this year she paid £80,000 for the last fund-raising Oor Wullie Bucket Trail statue when it was auctioned at the first Tayside ARCHIE spring ball to raise funds for the Tayside Children’s Hospital.
She said she would donate the figure, called A’Body’s Wullie, to the new children’s surgical suite when it opens at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.

Gillian has also supported the family of Carnoustie youngster Blake McMillan after bankrolling a specially adapted home.
The open plan house was designed to help Blake, who suffers from MeCP2 Duplication Syndrome, one of the rarest illnesses in the world.
Gillian, 46, was born in Kirkcaldy, raised in Carnoustie and educated in Dundee.
She is believed to have married Brian, 37, this weekend in front of close friends and family at the five-star luxury venue after what one friend described as a “whirlwind romance.”
