Sir Paul McCartney

Profession: Musician
Place/Date of Birth: Liverpool , 18 June 2020
Assiociated with: Heather Mills, Stella McCartney

In the ITV documentary Mr Stephens said: "They’ll say Heather Mills McCartney is entitled to, the child is entitled to, and they’ll make the award and that award will be bigger, I think, than Sir Paul will want to pay. I think Heather, if she pushes it, could get up to a hundred million."

His sentiments were echoed by publicist Max Clifford, who agreed Lady McCartney was probably "after £100m". The half-hour documentary explores the acrimonious break-up of the couple, which has dominated newspaper headlines for several months.

It looks at the early days of their relationship, their marriage and birth of daughter Beatrice, before examining how their originally amicable parting deteriorated after old photos of Lady McCartney posing topless in an adult magazine were exposed.

The documentary claims that following the split, Lady McCartney has become "fair game" for newspapers as she no longer has the more influential backing of Sir Paul.

It also says recent images of Lady McCartney locked out of the couple’s London home were staged, and Sir Paul had actually changed the locks sometime earlier. The photos were plastered across national newspapers, sparking rumours photographers had been tipped off. These claims have been denied by Lady McCartney’s advisers.

The programme, McCartney v McCartney, also reveals new research which shows that since their separation, Lady McCartney has had much more publicity than Sir Paul, with 216 photos in the tabloids, compared to his 165.

But despite the PR battle, the documentary reveals the couple appear to have decided to call a truce. It said: "Last week the couple met face to face for the first time in 70 days to acknowledge the PR war has to end."

Paul has offered Heather £50 million to remain silent - Aug 21, 2020
Sir Paul McCartney has reportedly offered estranged wife Heather Mills £50 million to remain silent about their marriage.

The former Beatle’s latest divorce offer would mean Heather will never be able to talk publicly about their marriage, according to the The People newspaper. A source said: "The fear that one day Heather will spill the beans on their relationship is a recurring nightmare for Paul. "With a gagging order in place in his divorce settlement, Paul can satisfy himself with the thought that Heather will never be able to speak about the marriage in public."

Paul, 64, fears the former model may be about to dish the dirt on their bitter split as she has already received a string of requests to appear on US TV chat shows. According to close friends, Heather is furious about the gagging order and is desperate to give her side of the story. A source said: "Heather is the one who has had to face a whole string of very hurtful allegations. She has come out of the marriage without much sympathy from the public. "Like any human being she deserves the chance to put right any misconceptions about her."

Heather, who has already reportedly rejected a £30 million offer, would lose a substantial part of the settlement if she breaks the gagging order.
