The gossip about what would have been a ninth nuptials (she married Burton twice) made her laugh because Winters runs a talent agency with his partner Erik Sterling. He is said by associates to be “100 per cent gay”.

He may yet,though,be the heir to her fortune — estimated at 360 million pounds,which he will administer via a trust to her Aids charity. They met via her work for Aids victims in the late 1990s and their friendship blossomed. She took several holidays at his home in Hawaii.

Her four children — Michael and Christopher Wilding,Lisa Todd and Maria Burton — believe that he will get her cash when the will is read,which could be next week,reports the Daily Mail.

It was he who helped her out of the decline after the end of her last marriage to Larry Fortensky.

Gossip columnists were told that she was “madly in love” with Winters and that he felt the same way.
