I'm set to win the EuroMillions on Friday - please form an orderly queue.........

Four years with McCartney was certainly more lucrative for Ms Mills than the work she did for the Sultan of Brunei - mostly on her back for £1k a time.

From what I've heard about the Sultan of Brunei, she spent very little time on her back!

"Mills and McCartney separated in 2006. In March 2008, in settlement of their pending divorce, Mills was awarded £24.3 million ($48.7 million), plus payments of £35,000 ($70,000) per annum, and nanny and school costs for their daughter, Beatrice.[33] In his judgement, Mr Justice Bennett described Mills testimony as "inconsistent, inaccurate, underhand" and "less than candid".

"At the final hearing, Mills poured a jug of water over the head of McCartney's solicitor, Fiona Shackleton".

Heather was no more than an out and out gold digger.
She (being a nobody) also enjoyed being in the company of someone famous to enhance her own publicity.
I am really surprised that McCartney was taken in by her. Even members of his own family warned him against having anything to do with her.

All Heather wanted was to get her leg over and grab the cash.

I nearly married a very wealthy girl many years ago. The sort of family who own a holiday cottage in Cornwall which is bigger than the average street! It was a frightening experience coming from a working class scruffbag background, and I was under duress everytime I set foot in the parents' homes!

The young lady wanted to get married in St Paul's but being a complete ignoramous I said "What do you want to go all the way to Bristol for?"

Such relationships rarely survive and for the most part I was on tenterhooks waiting to be caught out in the act of faux pas; dipping my bread roll in the soup, wondering which part of the asparagus to eat, using the plant pots as ashtrays and driving a very old car which wasn't a Bentley!

Needless to say I "did a runner" and so she probably ended up with some Tarquin or Peers whose father got him a good position in The City suited to the idle rich with no brains but plenty of contacts from Eton, and they possibly had three children born with no chins and given trendy names like Kit, Jack and Hal (he's the one with the bad breath) and Daddy would have bought them a three storey town house in Dulwich or Tulse Hill with enough room on the front to make a shingle drive for the obligatory Chelsea Tractor !

But one thing about "old money" is that they like to hang on to it and consequently they're tighter than a roll of cling-film, so I'd have been no better off financially!

It's amazing the bile that this poor woman seems to attract...... let me add to it.

I have friends who worked with her on the Esther Rantzen programme. They found her quite unpleasant and devious. On one occasion she went off to the restaurant during a shooting break and while she was there the crew had to move her handbag which was in the way of something. On her return she launched into a furious tirade against them for "tampering with her property".

The clincher for me was when, some time before the wedding, she claimed not to know anything about the Beatles.
Yeah.
Right.

My reaction to that was that it would end in tears. Sadly true.

She wanted 490000 to pay off a mortgage on her property only she could not show that she had a mortgage.
Remember that out of her lump sum she still has to pay her ex lawyers 2 million.Be funny if they applied to make her bankrupt as they were threatening to do.

She always had a penchant for colour co-ordinating her handbags with her toe nail varnish, so no doubt she's now the editor of some upmarket fashion glossy magazine!
