Documentary rubbishes Mills peerage claim

Heather Mills has been accused of lying about being offered a peerage by Tony Blair.

Mills reportedly told Sunday Times journalist Jasper Gerard that the former Prime Minister and a Lord Macdonald had promised to make her Baroness Mills in 2001, prior to her marriage to Sir Paul McCartney.

She claimed that she had been asked to sit in the House of Lords but was undecided about whether to accept the honour, which is usually conferred on important public figures.

However, three Lord Macdonalds tracked down by new ITV documentary McCartney vs McCartney: The Ex Files denied ever meeting the former model.

Gerard said: "I was pretty gobsmacked that somebody who was essentially just a model and a bit of a part-time campaigner, best known for being Paul McCartney's girlfriend, should be offered a peerage.

"Heather also told me she had cancelled a meeting with Bill Clinton in case her endorsement affected a US election outcome. I kept waiting for her to smile and say 'I'm joking', but she meant it."

It was recently revealed that a computer game based on the divorce battle between Mills and McCartney has been released online.
