A hard-working baker is cheering a triple Christmas miracle after beating cancer, falling pregnant - and scooping a £800,000 lottery win.
Lauren Tomlinson, 33, promised to split her winnings with mum Andrea, who was also diagnosed with cancer, and dad Darren, who suffered a stroke earlier this year.
And she plans to expand her cake baking business, which she runs with her mum in a cabin in the back garden of her semi in Rotherham.
