More problems for Mills

HEATHER MILLS' sex life is to be laid bare in a shocking new TV documentary.

Sir Paul McCartney's estranged wife is the subject of the forthcoming McCartney v McCartney: The Ex-Files, a show which will delve deep into the former glamour model's life before her marriage to the Beatles legend.

Former lovers and ex-boyfriends of Mills were approached to feature on the tell-all documentary, in what executive producer Steve Anderson calls "the programme Sir Paul should have seen before he decided to get married".

Another TV insider adds, "Researchers have been digging into her past and have found some things she'll probably not be too happy to see again. She's tough and she's bounced back before. But she's worried this could lead to further problems for her in Britain."

Mills was awarded $33 million cash and assets worth $15.6 million at London's High Court on 17 March, following lengthy divorce proceedings with McCartney.

Meanwhile, Mills is set to return to court to appeal against a gagging order preventing her from talking publicly about her divorce battle.

Mills lost an appeal at London's High Court on March 18 to stop details of the case from entering the public domain and Judge Mr Justice Bennett subsequently published his findings.

The former glamour model faced a barrage of criticism in the press after the judge slammed her evidence as "unreliable" and accused the 40-year-old of indulging in "make-belief".

Mills then responded by publicly condemning the judge's decision to publish the report and claimed the revelations have added to her media "vilification" and violated her "human rights".

And now Mills, who shares custody of her four-year-old daughter Beatrice with McCartney, wants a judge to overturn the gagging order so she can set the record straight without the risk of being found in contempt of court.

Her lawyer David Rosen says, "Heather is very frustrated. She feels that it's very unfair that the judgement should be printed in full when she cannot defend herself.

"She's planning to apply to lift the ban. It was damning enough that the judge made his judgement so clear and vividly - no one deserves that. It's like a prolonged hanging for her."

McCartney and Mills split in May 2006 after four years of marriage. A further hearing to grant a decree nisi and officially dissolve their marriage will take place on 12 May.

As if all the action surrounding her divorce was not enough, Mills is also reportedly planning on turning her hand to write a series of fantasy stories for kids - inspired by the former couple's four-year-old daughter Beatrice.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, "Heather says she'd like to do children's fiction and thinks she'll be good at it because of Beatrice.

"Heather would be thrilled if she wrote a series of bestselling children's books. You never know, she could be the next JK Rowling."

If Mills, 40, succeeds in getting her tales published she would be following in the footsteps of her ex, who brought out his own book - Wirral The Squirrel - in 2005.
