A 57-year-old man who was dumped by his girlfriend for EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford has warned the multi-millionaire “I hope he knows what he is letting himself in for” after it emerged he was tying the knot for a fourth time.
Bus driver Mark Newman was left devastated after Tracey Biles, 45, started her new life with Bayford.
Bayford, who landed the £148million pot in 2012, was forced to split his fortune with his first wife Gillian.
The ex-postman is now planning to wed Biles in a no-expenses spared wedding on an exotic Indian Ocean Island.

Newman is also warning Bayford about his wife following their split.
“I hope he knows what he is letting himself in for – the pair are welcome to each other,” he told The Daily Mail.
“When she left me I was devastated, I really was, I thought we had a good thing going. Now if they were both on fire I wouldn't cross the road…well, you know the rest.”
He added: “In all honesty, it makes a mockery of everything we supposedly had together.
“When I met her, she was a plain Jane girl, nothing out of the ordinary it was never about the money she would say to me and in fact she would have a go when I bought her a present.

Bayford popped the question just a few weeks ago during the festive period.
He also moved his soon-to-be in-laws into a £1million cottage on the grounds of his £12million estate near Haverhill, Suffolk
Newman and Biles were dating for four years until they split in 2022.
The pair, who met as bus drivers in the Essex city of Colchester, even discussed marriage before the relationship broke down.

Friends of Bayford told The Sun: “Adrian has always been so soft and, in his own way, he’s actually a real romantic.
“He’s so committed to Tracey that he’s moved his mother-in-law and father-in-law to be into one of the cottages on his estate.
“I mean, that might not be for everyone but they all get on so well — and, let’s face it, there’s plenty of room up there.
“Right now, it just feels like nothing could go wrong.”
Bayford has popped the question on three other occasions since his lottery victory, with him subsequently being dumped in the three previous times.
