Lauren Keene, 24, had considered moving into her six-bedroom Hollywood-style home with her partner Ryan Mitchell after she won it last December, along with £250,000. But the full time nanny has now followed in the footsteps of the vast majority of winners by cashing in on the house in the Wirral, Merseyside, and putting it on the market for £2.
