Gold Digger Mills

Heather Mills’ extraordinary rant after securing a $53 million divorce deal from estranged husband Paul McCartney apparently had nothing on her behaviour moments after the hearing ended.

The outspoken Mills reportedly doused McCartney’s lawyer Fiona Shackleton with water, deflating the high-profile advocate’s blonde bouffant.

"Usually she has this rather fly-away blonde hair," BBC reporter Sophie Hutchinson said to The Daily Mail. "But this afternoon … when they left, she's got this damp hair."

When asked if she could account for Ms Shackleton’s new look, Mills laughed it off.

"[Mills] said that Fiona Shackleton had been 'baptised in court', suggesting that perhaps she had had some water put on her head somehow," Hutchinson said.

A source has told The Sun it was Mills who tipped water over Ms Shackleton’s head.

"She didn’t throw it," the unnamed "witness" told the tabloid.

"It was cool, calm and collected. It trickled down Fiona’s neck."

"She waited until the hearing was over. The judge would have taken a very dim view of it if he’d seen it."

Outside court, Mills criticised Shackleton, accusing her of handling the case badly and of calling her names.

She said Shackleton, who also represented Prince Charles in his divorce from Princess Diana, "has called me many, many names before even meeting me when I was in a wheelchair”.

The settlement was a fifth of the sum Mills had sought but she still ended up with the equivalent of $1500 an hour for her four-year marriage to the former Beatle.

"I am so glad it is over. It is an incredible result in the end," Mills said.

"We are very, very pleased," she added. "I am so, so happy with it."
