Lottery winner Karl Crompton splits from childhood sweetheart who’s set to get half his £22million fortune

LOTTERY winner Karl Crompton has split from his sweetheart — and she is likely to get half his £22million fortune.

Karl was Britain’s most eligible bachelor when he won £11million aged 23 in 1996.

He settled down with school crush Nicole and doubled his fortune with savvy investments.

They did not sign a pre-nup when they wed in 2006.

Nicole, mum to their two children and still working as a nurse despite the win, has quit the £2million home he built for them in Fylde, Lancs, and lives 20 minutes away.

Last week, she was spotted without her ring as she got into a Range Rover bought by Karl.

A pal said: “We’ve heard they are divorcing and she’s expected to get half.”

Ex-Comet manager Karl spent £3.5million on hols and cars in the year after his win. But pals fear Nicole left because he got a bit too miserly.

One said: “We’re all a bit worried about Karl. He seems heartbroken.”
The pair have declined to comment.
