LOTTO BLAZE
WAS CINDY
STITCH-UP!
MIRROR EXCLUSIVE
by Gregory Cook
The Lotto inferno which wiped out a whole family may have been started in a bid to destroy top TV host Cindy Mars-Lewis.
The amazing allegation came last night from Cindy’s former producer after police revealed that the fire in Banbury, Oxfordshire was arson.
Jo Shepherd, 28, said, ‘I know it sounds incredible, but we’ve all known for some time that certain people had it in for Cindy.
‘When two jackpot winners died in close succession, it’s my belief that somebody saw their chance …
‘I think the Sherwin family were the tragic victims of a secret vendetta that’s gone way out of control.’
The BBC were thought to have fired Cindy after he was accused of jinxing jackpot winners with a series of cruel jibes.
BBC chiefs refused to support Jo Shepherd’s theory last night. But a spokesman said, ‘We do agree that this curse story has got completely out of hand, and we would very much like to talk to Mr Mars-Lewis.’
Cindy, however, was still in hiding last night…
Thanks – for crucial technical assistance – to Richard Morris (hypnosis), Ken Ratcliffe and Mike Kreciala (ballistics).
And thanks especially – for the core plot and a brilliant edit – to my wife, Deborah.
