But Heather quickly began attracting unfavourable headlines. Her past, to put it mildly, was ‘murky’. She’d been a party girl for wealthy Arabs, had run through boyfriends and fiancés like a bull through Pamplona, and developed an unfortunate tendency to tell endless porky pies about herself.

She was also a fiery little number, prone to rages, rows and general ‘anger management’ issues.

Stories soon emerged that the marriage was in trouble - at one stage I was played a tape of a message Paul had left for Heather on her mobile phone.

It was heartbreaking. The couple had clearly had a tiff, Heather had fled to India, and Paul was pleading with her to come back. He sounded lonely, miserable and desperate, and even sang ‘We Can Work It Out’ into the answerphone.

But despite it all, I still rather liked and admired Heather. When I interviewed her for a TV series, I found her to be a tough cookie with a waspish sense of humour, who was rightly proud of the very effective work she does for charity.

But I also didn’t believe a lot of what she said, and thought she was ludicrously obsessed with - and touchy about - the Press. I could also sense a growing - and even more ludicrous - irritation that she had to constantly play second fiddle to Paul…

The separation, when it came, only served to confirm what many already suspected: there had been three of them in the marriage - Paul, Heather and her Ego, and one of them had to go. It was Paul…

We all love Macca because he’s always seemed such a nice, ordinary type, relatively untainted by fame. And that’s why Heather has made such a hideous mistake in making all these horrible allegations about her husband in the divorce papers.

Even if she was not directly responsible for the leak, she must have known that the details would come out, and presumably assumed we’d all read them with horror and a sudden new sympathy for this poor, tortured, tormented soul.

But we didn’t, Heather. We all read them with horror alright - horror that you could be so disgusting about our Paul. As for sympathy, that’s all going to swing even further his way. Fast.

Any sympathy I once had for Miss Mills has evaporated. Instead, I am filled with guilt and sorrow that, as a lifelong Beatles fan, I am at least partly responsible for the hell Paul McCartney is going through at the hands of this vengeful, shameless, ghastly woman.

Paul, it may be a bit late now, but I’m sorry.

The alleged document contains a litany of allegations against the musician.

Mills McCartney’s spokesman, Phil Hall, described the divorce proceedings as “highly confidential” and said he could not confirm whether the document was genuine. He said Mills McCartney had been “shocked” by the story in the Daily Mail.

Mishcon de Reya, the law firm representing Mills MCcartney in the divorce, said it would not comment on “leaked or allegedly leaked documents.”

Paul McCartney’s law firm said the musician “would very much like to respond in public and in detail to the allegations made recently against him by his wife and published in the press but he recognizes, on advice, that the only correct forum for his response to the allegations made against him is in the current divorce proceedings.”

“Our client is saddened by the breakdown of his marriage and requests that his family is allowed to conduct their personal affairs out of the media spotlight for the sake of everybody involved,” the statement added.

The new album was inspired by McCartney’s late wife, Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998. “It was started when Linda was alive,” he said. “It has a lot of my feelings for her in it.

“When she died it stalled me and it took a year or so to before I could get back into it,” he continued. “And the interlude in the middle, the sad melody, is what got me back into it. So her spirit is very much in this. It would have been her birthday yesterday, so it’s very appropriate.

The press conference came to an end when a reporter asked about a story that had appeared in the morning’s newspapers, apparently quoting McCartney as saying he found it hard to cope with his split from Mills.

McCartney said, “Now wait a minute. You’re a little renegade, coming out of the corner here. I haven’t read the Daily Mirror today. Have we someone breaking away from the script? I think we have.”

The ex-model posed for hard core porn pictures in an X-rated US booklet crammed with snaps of sex scenes.

In the 1988 book, titled Sexual Secrets, she is seen performing a sex act, indulging in bondage and simulating full sex…

The sleeve of Sexual Secrets calls it a “photographic journey” through “exotic love acts”. The book contains no words…

Meanwhile last night it emerged that Heather — who split from Macca last month after four married years — was also pictured in a top-shelf French magazine.

It is thought she appeared in a number of graphic poses.

Last night rocker Sir Paul, 63 was bracing himself for the latest revelations. A pal said: “This will be yet another bombshell for him.

“Heather always insisted her modelling past just included a sex guide. But Paul’s since been made aware just how pornographic some pictures are. He has always thought the Press were out to get her and exaggerating her colourful past — but now he just isn’t sure. He’s not sure how much he can believe what she’s saying — even about her alleged past as a hooker.

“They’re still talking as they have to think about their two-year-old daughter Beatrice. But the conversations aren’t as amicable as they were.”

The prince’s secretary goes on to reveal more specifics involving group sex and trysts Mills had with the prince over several years, with the latest being in the early 90s.

This is incredible, and it looks like News of the World did their homework and isn’t just making this up. Before Mills and McCartney separated, I remember reading gossip that claimed that Mills used to entertain rich Middle Eastern men, but it didn’t get into such raunchy specifics.

Mills is not going to escape this explosive news, and she better lay low for a while. Of course she can always claim to have been working as a sex therapist at the time - that defense seemed to have been quite effective with her porny picture book.

She’s going to get creamed in the divorce settlement with Paul McCartney now, and will be lucky if she comes away with a paltry few million to live on. She’s going to have to deal with the embarassment from this scandal for the rest of her life.

The curly-haired male model is hoping to bag thousands of pounds by selling his story of how he did it for real with Heather Mills.

His move will heap yet more shame on Sir Paul McCartney’s estranged wife — mother of his two-year-old daughter Beatrice.

Yesterday it emerged her divorce settlement from the former Beatle could be slashed.

Lawyers for 63-year-old Paul are bound to cite her pornographic past as grounds for his payout — until now estimated at £200million — to be reduced.

Heather, 38, suffered a THIRD knock as it was revealed top shelf men’s magazines are preparing to publish some of the filthiest images from her photo shoot with the male model.

Journalist Ruth Lumley, 26, of Brighton, said: “Blimey, I’ve never come across a ‘sex education’ book that has whipped cream in it.”

Facilities manager John Bertram, 52, of Manchester, said: “It would need more text and less in the way of edible undies and thongs. In this situation Heather is definitely a porn star.”

Printer Andrew Love, 42, of Basildon, Essex, declared the book “fairly hard core”.

And engineer Stuart Lye, 31, of Chingford, Essex, said: “After ten pages it’s clear you’re not going to learn much with all these whips and things.”

“The photo shoot was not pornographic or for the purposes of gratification of the viewer.”

“His priority is making sure his daughter Beatrice’s best interests are looked after.”

Many of the images are too explicit to print in a family newspaper.

One shot shows Heather naked and smothered in baby oil as she performs a sex act on a nude male porn star. The curly-haired man is then photographed performing an act on her with the help of a sex toy…

In other scenes, Heather and the man appear to have sex and perform sex acts while watching themselves in a mirror. And in yet more, Heather ends up naked during a game of strip poker.

FACT: “Contrary to spiteful reports in the British press, Heather’s interview with Paul Newman on CNN’s “Larry King Live” was very well received, particularly by Paul Newman himself. His publicist of over 40 yrs, Warren Cowan wrote the following day: “Wonderful Job! I cannot tell you how many people have raved to me about your interview with Paul (Newman). He was delighted with it. So was I. The fact that the hour flew by so quickly is a testament to your interviewing skills. Take a bow, Heather, A Deep One”….

Wendy Whitworth (Executive Vice President of CNN & Senior Executive Producer of Larry King Live): “Heather came to the desk prepared for the spotlight. She was meticulous in her research and thorough in her presentation. Once again, Heather demonstrated her abilities with her well-known poise and intelligence”

Larry King: “Heather was a smart, charming and gracious guest host. She was very well prepared. I had no doubt! I would love for her to be my resident host ”

Paul Newman: “She seduces you into feeling stylishly confident.”"

Although it is hardly unusual for children to be enthusiastic about a stepmother, the silence from Paul McCartney’s three children from his first marriage has been deafening. Fashion designer Stella, in particular, has done little to hide her disapproval of Heather. At the Live8 concert last year, she very publicly moved away from Heather, not wanting to talk to her father in his wife’s presence and also ensuring there were no happy-family photo opportunities.

Few, it seems, have a good word to say for her. Geoff Baker, Paul McCartney’s long-standing press officer, was dismissed last year, reportedly at Heather’s instigation after falling out with her. At the time, Baker would say nothing on the subject, but his next move spoke volumes. He took a job as an editor of a golfing magazine and chose for the cover of his first issue a nude Heather McCartney lookalike with a golf ball resting on her cleavage.

In recent months the couple’s always stormy four-year marriage has been punctuated by ever more explosive rows.

They were due to have crisis talks at the weekend. But Macca, 63, decided he could not face another emotionally draining bust-up.

He told one friend: “We really can’t go on like this. It’s not fair on either of us. Enough is enough.”

A source disclosed: “Paul hasn’t come to this decision lightly, but felt things couldn’t carry on as they were.

“He and Heather were getting on so badly it became impossible for them to sleep under the same roof.

“Paul is desperately hoping some time apart will give them the space to work out whether they want the relationship to continue.

“It’s terribly sad for them. We’re very concerned it’s all over. But nobody has entirely lost hope.”

Sir Paul, who insists the couple can rekindle their love, is expected to tell close family and friends of his bombshell decision today.

“Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives, and we have actively tried to protect the privacy of our child,” the statement continued.

“Separation for any couple is difficult enough, but to have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter, is immensely stressful. We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter, that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period.”
