Michael Carroll remarried ex-wife who left him over orgies
LOTTO Lout Michael Carroll recently remarried his ex-wife more than a decade after she left him for romping with prostitutes.
The self-styled "King of the Chavs" was just 19 and working as a binman when he scooped ￡9.7million on the Lottery in 2002.
But he blew his winnings on booze, drugs, sex and friends with ex-wife Sandra Aiken leaving the "big shot" for using prostitutes.
She now appears to have forgiven Carroll, 38, and the pair have tied the knot for a second time, Daily Record reports.
The couple wed in a small ceremony last Saturday and are now understood to be living a quiet life together.

Best numbers to pick for EuroMillions
For the Euromillions, the most popular number is 50, followed by 44, 19, 4 and 30.
The most common extra numbers have been 8 and 3.
Many players therefore use these same numbers, despite no set of number being mathematically more (or indeed less) likely than any other combination to come out of the machine.

Copied customer
Jamie Heavens, from Bournemouth, won ￡1million on a Millionaire Riches Scratch card in 2016.
The roofer, then 26, was waiting to buy a drink at the petrol station when he realised he picked up the wrong flavour.
He had to go to the back of the queue and noticed the “man in front of me bought a scratch card”.
Jamie recalled: “So I picked the same card as him.
“I drove to a layby to scratch it and realised I’d won but it was 7.30 in the morning and I still had a day’s shift ahead.
“I couldn’t get signal so I climbed onto the roof we were working on and rang Camelot, I won a million pounds and earned another ￡100 for my shift.
The big win allowed him and his partner to afford the wedding of their dreams but instead of getting carried away by his fortune, they live a modest life.

What if…
Euromillions winner Adrian Bayford is “consumed with guilt” as his son fights for life after a horror quad bike smash, friends say.
The lad, 13, was hit by a car driven by his sister, 15, in the sprawling grounds of their Cambridgeshire mansion.
The Sun exclusively revealed details of the horror smash as the boy is fighting for his life in intensive care with his family at his bedside.
His sister raised the alarm after her brother was flung from his machine and through a fence.
It is understood the car and quad bike were gifts bought for the kids by former postie Adrian, 49.

‘I shop in Primark despite ￡1.8m win’
A NATIONAL Lottery winning dinner lady still lives in her council house, shops in Primark and drives a Kia despite bagging ￡1.8million.
Trish Emson, 51, explained money or her millionaire status did not change her or her partner Graham Norton, also 51, who still works as a decorator.
The down-to-earth pair have even managed to keep their teenage son Benjamin, 17, in check – and don’t even give him pocket money.
The modest mum, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said: “Being rich doesn’t make you posh or a better person.
“I don’t like showing off and bragging about money and I can’t be posh anyway.
“To look at me you wouldn’t think I was a millionaire, but if I have to dress up I feel fake, I prefer my jeans,” she told The Mirror.

Tonight's jackpot could make you richer than Adele
ANYONE scooping tonight's biggest-ever Lottery jackpot will be richer than Adele.
The singer’s fortune is ￡140million, well short of the record ￡184million EuroMillions pot up for grabs.
A lucky winner would be in the same league as Scottish DJ Calvin Harris at ￡180million and pop star Robbie Williams worth ￡185million.
The jackpot, which has rolled over nine times, is enough to buy an eight-bed ￡110million super yacht.
And there would still be plenty left over for a private Bahamas island with 20-bed house and landing strip — which is being auctioned by Sotheby’s for ￡44million.

Why did the ‘King of Chavs’ wife leave him?
Michael Carroll has reportedly remarried his estranged wife Sandra.
The self-styled ‘King of Chavs’ was 19 when he scooped ￡9,736,131 on the National Lottery in November 2002.
Part-time binman Michael Carroll, who was wearing an electronic tag when he bought his winning ticket, splashed out on a ￡340,000 on a six-bedroom home in Norfolk. Not content with the swish property, he lavished ￡400,000 on a series of upgrades including a swimming pool and a car track in the garden.
Michael also spent around ￡1million on shares in his beloved Rangers FC and ￡49,000 on a BMW. Carroll’s wife, Sandra, left him just a month after their wedding in 2003 after being appalled by his incessant partying, accusing him of cheating on her with sex workers.
She took ￡1.4million in a settlement – but once she was gone, Michael really dialled up the hedonism with what he called “Roman-style orgies” at his mansion while spending ￡2,000 on cocaine in a single day.
“I only started to think about three things – drugs, sex and gold,” he said. “The dealer who introduced me to crack has more of my lotto money than I do.”
