Eh-oh! Couple who won £45m on the lottery to swap £90,000 former council house for £5m 'Teletubbies' mansion set on a golf course

Matt and Cassey Topham (left) have commissioned a top architect to build their dream home, a sprawling £5million complex in the Nottinghamshire countryside (right). Fed-up with unwanted attention after their £45million EuroMillions win last February, the Tophams are hoping to make their new home a quiet bolthole which they will call 'Serenity'. Until recently, the couple lived in a former council house worth just £90,000 (bottom right) in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, before their amazing stroke of good fortune. The design resembles the 'Tubbytronic Superdome' occupied by Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po, and Tinky Winky - the four mythical creatures from the BBC children's programme Teletubbies
