‘£2.5m lotto fraud’ man faces trial

A LOTTERY winner accused of forging his £2.5million ticket has denied fraud.

Edward Putman, 53, allegedly claimed an outstanding jackpot with a faked ticket nearly a decade ago.

Putman, of Kings Langley, Herts, pleaded not guilty to one count of fraud by false representation when he appeared at St Albans Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

He is said to have produced a fraudulent ticket on September 1, 2009.

Hertfordshire Police previously said their serious fraud and cyber unit began investigating in 2015 after evidence came to light that the claim was not genuine.

The jackpot from a draw in March 2009 went unclaimed, but what was purported to be the winning ticket was produced before the deadline.

Putman was released on bail and will appear at St Albans Crown Court next month. IT takes two tablespoons of blood to get the average penis erect

is 60 this week... and what better way to celebrate than with the sauciest snaps of its hottest presenters over the years!

It was on October 16, 1958, when we first glimpsed the famous and iconic sailing ship artwork and were introduced to original presenters Christopher Trace and Leila Williams.

It gave us popular national treasures in John Noakes and his sheepdog Shep – and also a fair share of controversy, including a few off-screen affairs.

Valerie Singleton, now 81, has spent her life denying that she is a lesbian after rumours of a fling with lesbo songstress Joan Armatrading spread following a TV interview between the two of them 40 years ago.

Val, who has never married, even revealed last month that she had an affair with fellow Blue Peter presenter Peter Purves!

She defended her decision to reveal it by saying: “I was fed up with everybody thinking I was gay! So I thought, it’s time to put the record straight.”

Over 60 years of Blue Peter, a succession of stunning presenters have graced the live show – and we’re happy to say they’ve often been very tasty, all-action lovelies who haven’t been afraid to flash their beautiful curves.

A TV insider said: “Blue Peter has always had fit women. I got my first sex tingle watching Anthea Turner and Helen Skelton.”

So to mark six decades of the longestrunning kids’ TV show, we bring you the sexiest Blue Peter babes in their most revealing poses.
