Mills to sell home to pay debts

Heather Mills fears she may be forced to sell her home to pay for her divorce from Paul McCartney.

The former glamour model is facing legal action from her former lawyers over $4m (€2.7m) in outstanding bills and now stands to be forced to put her English house on the market to cover the costs.

McCartney bought the nine-bedroom home in East Sussex, England, for his estranged wife in August as the $6.5m (€4.4m) house is close to his own property and would allow him easy access to his daughter Beatrice, four.

However, Mills insists her spiralling debts may leave her no choice but to sell up.

A source tells British newspaper the Sunday Mirror: "Heather is telling friends that relations have broken down so badly between her and her lawyers she will have to sell her new house to pay the debt.

"This Christmas she's been facing up to losing her home. It's a shame as she and Bea have just started to settle there."
