UK's youngest EuroMillions winner Jane Park hits back at troll over body-shaming jibe

EuroMillions' youngest lottery winner Jane Park hit back at a cruel troll who accused her of gaining weight.

The now 27-year-old first hit the headlines a decade ago when she drew the winning numbers in 2013 at the age of 17.

She is currently enjoying a trip to Magaluf and keeping people up to date with her antics through her social media.

However when she showed off in a beige two-piece outfit one person cruelly commented on her size, writing: “Wow, you’ve piled the weight on - sorry.

“I'm just telling the truth, if you seen a girl in town you'd say the same, bad to lie.”

Jane hit back at the claim in another video when she tagged the commentator as she danced around a balcony in a pink bikini, the Daily Record reported her saying: “Ask me if I care.

“That's what I think of that."

Earlier this year Jane appeared on popular US talk show host Dr Phil and revealed she got sepsis after using the money to get a Brazilian Bum Lift (BBL).

In the episode, titled 'The Curse of the Lottery', Jane, from Edinburgh, talked about the downsides of her £1 million prize.

In 2021 it was reported Jane had forked out an estimated £50,000 on cosmetic work.

She said: “The money made it a lot easier for me to decide, 'Well, I hate this about my body so I'm going to change it’.

"I had a procedure done in a different country and when I flew back I ended up with sepsis which is like blood poisoning.

"I nearly died. I was in the hospital for a month... I had to stay there for a while."

She made the revelation while speaking to Dr Phil on his popular US talk show that focused on the negative impacts of winning the lottery.

Jane, from Edinburgh, said the only thing she regretted about her win was going public because of the online abuse she faced.

She said: "I don't regret any of the money that I've spent. My only regret would be going so public.

“I have not even spent all of the money and they seem to think they know more about my life.

"It's hard because when I was younger I read the comments and it affected me and these people have never met me and they've probably never even seen me."
