She told The Sun newspaper: "It’s hilarious. Paul and I are very much together." The couple are reported to have spent five days apart after a heated row argument. One friend said: "Heather and Paul have had a couple of disagreements when she has felt people only see her as the wife of a Beatle." Heather, 38, insists Paul, 63, was recording in London while she recovered from a leg operation at home in Hove, East Sussex.

Brave Heather underwent painful surgery to reattach muscle tissue on her part-amputated left leg three weeks ago and she has decided to "keep undercover" until she can walk properly again. The couple wed in 2002 and have a two-year-old daughter Beatrice. Last week, it emerged that Heather plans to return to the catwalk and has joined Zone, the fashion and VIP division of MOT models.

The former model, who quit her blooming modelling career in 1993 after losing a leg in a road accident, has signed up with London’s exclusive Zone model agency. Blonde Heather, the wife of Beatles superstar Sir Paul McCartney, is to model a whole range of outfits for the company. The 37-year-old animal rights activist, famous for her racy glamour shoots in her earlier modelling days, has been welcomed back with open arms by the fashion industry.

Zone boss Mike Illes admitted he was thrilled to have Mrs McCartney on board and also praised her for her tireless charity work. He said: "As well as being a well-known figure involved in headlining a number of impressive causes, Heather is an extremely talented model who will continue to make an impact on the fashion and beauty scene."

Heather Mills is now in a wheelchair - April 10, 2020
Heather Mills McCartney has had an operation on her part-amputated leg - and is now in a wheelchair. The former model, - wife of Beatles legend Paul McCartney - underwent a "revision amputation", which involves re-attaching muscle tissue to her bone, last Monday (03.04.06) after experiencing severe pain.

The 38-year-old blonde - who has a young daughter, Beatrice, with Sir Paul - is now recovering at home. A spokeswoman for Heather - who lost her leg in a motorbike accident in 1993 - is quoted in the Sunday Mirror newspaper as saying: "It’s a major operation - but it’s been a success. She’s in a wheelchair, but out of hospital. "She has been putting off the operation but she couldn’t put it off any longer." Heather will be in a wheelchair for the next four weeks and is then likely to need crutches for several weeks.

Last year, Heather was left limping in agony after having her false leg was allegedly knocked off by one of Jennifer Lopez’s bodyguards during a fur protest at the star’s fashion headquarters. The injury occurred as she stormed into the New York office of the Latin diva’s fashion label, Sweetface, which uses fur in its clothing range. During the protest, Heather clashed with the star’s security guards and as they tried to move her out of the building her prosthetic leg twisted and came loose, leaving Heather writhing in agony.

Biography

Heather Mills has definitely got one hell of a story, she was born in 1968, her mother left the family home when she nine, leaving Heather to care for her siblings under the watchful eye of an abusive father. Heather ran away from home at thirteen and found herself homeless, living under Waterloo arches for four months.

She was eventually "discovered" and started modelling, it wasn’t long after that at the age of 22, that she moved to Northern Yugoslavia, now Slovenia, for a holiday and eventually ended up moving there to build a new life and become a ski instructor. Whilst out there she witnessed the outbreak of civil war and the effect it had on many of her friends. On her return to England she set up a refugee crisis centre, funded by the modelling work that she was still doing, she continued her charity work over the next two years when tragedy struck, on a visit to the UK.

In August 1993, Heather was involved in a road accident with a police motorcycle. Her injuries included crushed ribs, a punctured lung, and multiple fractures of the pelvis and the loss of her left leg below the knee. Realising her modelling career would now possibly be over, she summoned the press into her hospital room and sold her story.

Through the adjustment of returning to ’normal’ life with one leg, Heather found a practical problem that she felt she could solve. Her residual limb, or stump as she prefers to call it, was fitted with an artificial limb. But due to the nature of the wound changing in shape and size, the prosthetic leg had to be continually replaced, whilst the old leg would be discarded. Heather realised that if the redundant prosthesis would never find another use, there must be literally thousands out there just waiting for a new home. With her experiences in the former Yugoslavia, Heather knew that these redundant limbs would be more than welcome in areas such as the Former Yugoslavia.

Heather instigated a nation-wide appeal for the donation of unwanted prostheses, and then employed the services of the inmates at Brixton prison to dismantle the limbs and make them ready for transport. October 1994, just a year after her accident, the first convoy of artificial limbs and medical equipment left for Zargreb. Arriving at the Institute of Prosthetics in Zargreb the limbs were now ready to be fitted. Over 22,000 amputees and victims of land-mine explosions have been helped since the first Convoy left the U.K.

It was not long after that at the young age of 25 that Heather wrote her biography, whilst most 25 year olds could hardly fill a chapter, Heather had a real story to tell. ’Out on a Limb’ landed straight onto The Times’ best-seller list as well as appearing in the 1997 Reader’s Digest Best non-fiction compilation. The proceeds from the book go to raising money for child amputee war victim’s world-wide (although the most publicised are in the Former Yugoslavia). All Heather’s charity work has funded from her own pocket.

Heather has been given many accolades and awards for her work for charity. Former Prime Minister John Major presented her with the Gold Award for Outstanding Achievement; The Times presented her with their Human Achievement Award, and the British Chamber of Commerce not only named her Outstanding Young Person of the Year, but also named an award after her - the Heather Mills Award. If this was not enough, in 1996 she received a nomination for The Nobel Prize and has since received the 1999 "People of the Year Award", The "Cosmopolitan Woman of Achievement 2000 Award", The "Pantene Spirit of Beauty Award" and the "Woman of the Year" by the Blue Drop Group in Sicily as well as lots more.

Heather collected the "REDBROOK Mother & Shakers Award", presented by Hillary Clinton, and she received the Victory Award hosted by the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington DC.

If that was not enough, Heather has also done a lot of TV work presenting for programmes such as That’s Esther.

In her personal life, she found temporary happiness with ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney. Despite some rather obvious objections from Paul’s daughter Stella, the couple married in 2002 and had a daughter together.

In 2006 both Paul and Heather made a joint statement confirming their separation, after Paul McCartney filed for divorce, citing ‘unreasonable behaviour’. What has followed has been a media storm, with Heather at the heart of the controversy.

The main allegations is that she merely married Sir Paul for his money and fame, with British papers suggesting that this could be the biggest divorce settlement ever witnessed. Heather has always denied the allegation of being a ‘gold digger’, claiming that the separation and process of divorce is ‘worse than losing my leg’.

Alongside her threat to sue national papers over ‘false, damaging and immensely upsetting’ reports about the divorce, it has also been reported that Heather has received death threats since splitting with her husband.

In January 2003, a settlement was announced between the two parties, believed to amount to £32 million, plus a gagging order.
