A 52-year-old Plumber who won the £14million Lottery jackpot surprisingly returned to his trade day after he was awarded the huge sum.
John Doherty, while defending his decision to return to the toilet job noted that he does not want to disappoint his customers, adding that he would be bored doing nothing at home.
John, father of two and married to Alison, 50, was unveiled along with his wife on Tuesday as the Lotto jackpot winners.
He was however spotted to have returned to his line of work as early as 9:00 a.m, donned in his black overalls and seen jumping into his black Mercedes van to service a boiler he’d fitted.
He said: “I really enjoy my work – I’ve been doing it a long time.
“I want to stay grounded. “I’ve got a lot of loyal customers and I don’t want to let them down. I’m doing stuff that was arranged before all this happened.”
“My customers are older people and they’ve treated me just the same after the win which is what I want. I’m just back from two holidays so I definitely don’t think I should be sitting on a beach.
“I will treat myself – but once it’s all settled down a bit
“I’ll probably slow down a wee bit” he added.
