Heather Mills McCartney, the estranged wife of the Beatles’ Paul McCartney, has spoken out against rumours of a lover.

“I haven’t got a lover,” she says in an interview with “Extra,” set to air Tuesday and Wednesday. “It’s totally made up.”

Rumours have been circulating that Mills had developed a relationship with her personal trainer.

According to Reuters, Mills also says in the interview that she will “never” get married again.

Her relationship with McCartney ended in May after a four-year marriage. The two are currently embroiled in increasingly vicious divorce proceedings.

Former couple Paul and Heather Mills McCartney have hired the same two lawyers to handle their divorce that Prince Charles and Princess Diana used for their split.

Reuters reports that Mills has called on Anthony Julius to represent her; he was Diana’s lawyer for her 1996 divorce.

“Yes. It was decided today,” said Phil Hall, Mills’ spokesman, on Tuesday of the appointment.

McCartney had previously hired Fiona Shackleton, who represented Charles in the famous divorce, to handle his case.

The McCartneys announced their divorce in May, claiming at the time that proceedings would be amicable. However, as andPOP reported Tuesday, the former Beatle has frozen the couple’s joint bank account — one of many recent signs that the split will not be a clean one.

Paul McCartney has formally begun divorce proceedings against his estranged wife, Heather Mills McCartney. He filed for divorce this week, saying Mills’ “unreasonable behaviour” led to the split.

Reuters reports that Mills, 38, will file counter claims in the case, according to her spokesman.

“Heather’s going to be filing her own counter-claims about matters both in [Britain] and America,” he said. “Any view she has on her divorce will be handled discreetly. She does not feel the need to repudiate claims that she may be headstrong or feisty.”

The separation was first announced in May, four years after the couple married. The had a daughter, two-year-old Beatrice, while together.

The 64-year-old McCartney is expected to lose a hefty chunk of his vast personal fortune (estimated at 825 million pounds) in the divorce.

However, the former Beatle has also defended Mills against claims that she married him for his money, saying soon after the split that “there is not an ounce of truth in this.”

Heather Mills McCartney, the recently estranged wife of the Beatles’ Paul McCartney, is planning to take legal action over a newspaper’s allegations that she worked as a prostitute in her twenties.

“Heather is very distressed by this article,” said her lawyers after allegations appeared in the News of the World tabloid over the weekend. Mills said the article was “untrue and highly defamatory.”

A statement also said that legal action against the paper would be put off until her divorce with McCartney is finalized.

Mills, 38, and McCartney, 63, announced their separation last month.
