A widow whose love rat ex-boyfriend left her homeless has had the last laugh after a judge ordered her ex to pay back £300,000. Lyn Walcott, 68, of Hadleigh, Essex, was forced to move in with friends after she lent money to her boyfriend of seven years, Martin Forster, 57, to pay off debts and buy stock for his jewellery business. The mother-of two met Martin, a professional gambler, on a blind date in March 2005, and the couple quickly became an item.
