'Rollover Romeo' lottery winner who scooped £11m jackpot in 1996 and is now worth £22m divorces his childhood-sweetheart wife - who is set to get half his fortune

A lottery winner worth £22million is in the midst of a divorce - with his childhood-sweetheart ex-wife set to get half his fortune.

Karl Crompton - formerly dubbed Britain's most eligible bachelor and the 'Rollover Romeo' - took home his enormous £11million winnings aged just 23 in 1996.

He married his childhood sweetheart Nicole Roach in 2006 and the couple - who did not sign a prenup when they wed - have two children together.

They are now believed to be separated with Mrs Crompton living in a different property and no longer wearing her wedding ring.

Former £100-a-week Comet trainee Mr Crompton blew £3.5million of his winnings on luxury cars and fancy holidays in the year following his win.

But he cleverly invested his funds after settling down with nurse Nicole and now has a substantial portfolio - including a £2million home Fylde, Lancashire.

Mrs Crompton was in a relationship with someone else when Karl bagged his lottery win in 1996 - but the pair got together one year later.

Last week, she was not wearing a ring when entering a Range Rover, The Sun reports.

But he cleverly invested his funds after settling down with nurse Nicole and now has a substantial portfolio. He bought this five-bedroom house in Elswick

'We’re all a bit worried about Karl. He seems heartbroken.'
