McCartney's 'seeking trial separation'

Paul McCartney is seeking a trial separation from his wife Heather Mills, it was reported today.

The former Beatle’s four-year marriage to the animal rights campaigner is in jeopardy following a series of rows.

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

The couple wed in 2002, four years after McCartney’s first wife Linda died from cancer.
