Mills 'very happy' with divorce deal

Heather Mills was today awarded £24.3m (€31m) in her bitter divorce from Paul McCartney – and immediately announced she was to fight on.

Miss Mills said she was “so pleased it’s over” before revealing that she is to continue her legal battle as early as tomorrow by challenging the publication of the ruling. She says she will not challenge the amount of the award.

The judgement said she had sought £125m (€159m) and been offered £15.8m (€20m) by McCartney.

The judge decided on a lump sum of £16.5m (€21m) and assets of £7.8m (€9.9m).

Speaking on the steps of the High Court in London, she insisted she was “very very happy” with the decision.
