"Nowadays I don't indulge myself quite as much as I used to but still enjoy the carefree life winning has given me. I spilt my time between my villa in Cyprus and Britain.

"I also feel it was important to give back and have supported many charities - whether it's running charity fishing days or dressing up as Father Christmas for the local hospital."

His previous house had just two bedrooms but he had been living there for ten years, and said he still feels fond of it.
