He’s lost two wives, a multi-million  pound property empire and faces disposing of his beloved racing stables,  but rags to riches to rags again developer Rob Lloyd can at least take  one crumb of comfort.
For  in between all his other woes, farmer’s son Rob, a one-time star of  Channel 4’s Secret Millionaire, was also ripped off by a conman in the  Bahamas.
Lloyd, 47, was persuaded by a smooth-talking lawyer he met playing tennis at Nassau’s Ocean Club resort to part with £750,000 to buy a plot of land to build a holiday home.
