A six-bedroom Sussex mansion once jointly owned by Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck has been snapped up by Euromillions jackpot winners Dave and Angela Dawes.

Listed Socknersh Manor, right, in Etchingham, was used by the crooners, inset, as a party palace when they were pals in the Sixties.

Guests included singer Janis Joplin, actress Barbara Eden and model Jean Shrimpton. Sadly, Sir Tom and Engelbert later fell out and it’s reported they haven’t spoken for two decades.

The house has landscaped grounds, a pool and a sunken spa, a cinema, party room, tennis courts, stables and a private underground petrol station.

The Dawes were renting a £70-a-week flat when they won £101 million in 2011 from only their third Euromillions ticket.

They made all their closest pals millionaires and bought a flash apartment in Chelsea, so Dave could be near his favourite football ground, plus a home in Portugal. They are said to have paid more than £4 million for the latest addition to their property porfolio.
