Mills to be named 'one of world's sexiest women'

Former glamour model Heather Mills is set to be crowned one of the world's sexiest women in a new poll.

Mills has shocked bosses at British magazine FHM by racking up more than 1,000 votes a day in their flagship online poll to name the world's 100 most attractive females.

The magazine claims the 40-year-old's popularity has been heightened by her very public divorce to veteran rocker Paul McCartney.

"Heather Mills has always been vilified as a gold-digger with a dubious past," said Chris Bell, FHM's deputy editor.

"But readers have realised she's about to become the world's most eligible - and richest - women."

Mills is currently number 95 on the top 100 list - ahead of socialite Paris Hilton, singer Gwen Stefani and actress Kirsten Dunst.
