Bus driver who was dumped by girlfriend for EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford warns ‘I hope he knows what he’s getting into’ after learning he’s getting married for the fourth time times.
Mark Newman, 57, was devastated when Tracey Biles, 45, left him to start a new life with charged Adrian who raked in a £148million fortune in 2012.
The former postman had to share the victory with his first wife Gillian and is now set to tie the knot with Tracey in a no-expense wedding on an exotic island in the Indian Ocean.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Mark said: “I hope he knows what he’s getting into – both men are welcome to each other.
“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…eh Well, you know the rest.

Adrian popped the question a few weeks ago and even moved in with his future in-laws into a £1million cottage on the grounds of his £12million estate near Haverhill, Suffolk.
Mark said: “In all honesty it makes a mockery of everything we were supposed to have together.
“When I met her she was a simple Jane girl, nothing fancy, it was never about the money she said to me and in fact she tried when I bought her a present.
“I didn’t have much, what you see is what you get with me but I had enough to get by and then all of a sudden Adrian came along and that was it.”
Mark revealed the couple – who dated for four years before splitting in 2022 – even discussed marriage together before dumping him.
He said: “She meant everything to me, but one thing I will never forget is that she said that if and when I proposed to her, she wanted it to be done in a special way.
“She wanted me to dress up in pantomime, go on stage and ask her to marry her.
“She said it would be hilarious and everyone would laugh, and it would be fun.

“I remember saying to her, ‘Tracey, they’re not going to make fun of me, they’re going to make fun of me.’
“But she went on and said, ‘Come on, don’t be boring,’ but I told her I couldn’t do that.
“She always said she wanted a small, quiet wedding with us and now she’s flying to an island in the Indian Ocean for a no-cost wedding with lots of guests.
“It’s just double standards – she kept saying money wasn’t important to her, but that’s obviously a lie because he came with his millions and she’s telling me left.”
Mark – who looks like Adrian – said he and Tracey had been extremely happy when they got together in 2018 while working as bus drivers in Colchester, Essex.
Dad-of-four Mark, who now lives in Beccles, Suffolk, added: “When she left me it broke me, it really broke me, but now I couldn’t be happier , I’m much better off without her.
“I still keep wondering why she wanted me to dress up and go on stage?
“It’s so different to how she was when she was with me, she was always bargain hunting and yellow label shopping.

“I’m just going to move on with my life but I can tell you it’s not love, she told me she loved me but that’s obviously not the case and I don’t think she is in love with him, it’s just the way of life.
“It broke me when she left, not financially but as a person, but now it’s done and dusted and I’ll never have to see it again – I wouldn’t be surprised if I read that in a few years , she left him. .
“I’m alone now but I’m happy to be alone and if I saw her I would say what I think of her.”
