Mills' ex-nanny to launch tribunal claim

Heather Mills’ former nanny will today launch a legal battle against her ex-employer.

Sara Trumble, 25, is seeking compensation over allegations of sex discrimination and unfair dismissal.

Ms Trumble, of Westfield, East Sussex, also alleges she suffered changes to her employment terms following her maternity leave.

Mills, of Robertsbridge, East Sussex, was awarded £24.3m following her high profile divorce from Beatle Paul McCartney in 2008.

Since the split she opened a vegan restaurant in Hove named VBites.

The former model and charity campaigner, who lost a leg when she was hit by a police motorcyclist in 1993, met McCartney at an awards ceremony in 1999 while giving a speech about her anti-landmines charity.

The pair married in June 2002 and their daughter Beatrice was born in October the following year.

Ms Trumble’s case will be heard at an employment tribunal in Ashford, Kent, from 10am.

It is listed to last four days.
