Generous Callie gave £500,000 of her win away to family and friends but also blew £18,000 on boob jobs, £30,000 on clothes and £250,000 on cocaine binges.She added: "Not knowing who liked me for me, and having all the stress of all the money, I just wanted to go back to having a normal life. I still struggle with trust issues."She was attacked after a night out and left with two black eyes, a 'burst' nose, blurred vision, two cracked ribs and swollen lips.

Up at 6am every day, he now works for a coal mechant's firm and earns just £10 an hour lugging heavy bags of fuel and chopping logs for up to 12 hours a day. And six years to the day after her big win, Gillian married convicted fraudster, Brian Deans, 37, in a lavish ceremony in Fife.Adrian has had two failed relationships since his divorce from Gillian.
