A jackpot winner has revealed how her relationship with her family collapsed after winning Euromillions lottery.
Her parents stopped talking to her after she gained attention in the press, she told The Sun in 2016.

She said:
“They are disgusted when I get that kind of attention.
“They’ve disowned me because I embarrass them.
“But they’ve been more than happy to take my money."
The lottery winner revealed how she missed out on an invitation to her brother's wedding and how she remarried - to Brian Deans, a conman convicted of stealing £13k from Tesco.
In that 2016 interview, Gillian said:
“It's upsetting and raw. The money was supposed to make everybody happy. But it's made them demanding and greedy.
“They (my family) have lost touch with where they've come from.”
Gillian's parents were broke and lived in a caravan at the time of her win.
