Sir Paul McCartney is pursuing full custody of his daughter Beatrice following Heather Mills's outspoken public statements, according to a report.

Among her arguments and confessions last week she revealed she had considered suicide because of stress.

A friend of the ex-Beatle said Mills's continuing attacks on him have prompted fears she will turn four-year-old Beatrice against him.

“Paul fears Heather’s lost the plot and needs help," explained the source. "He’s deeply worried. She claimed to the world that her life’s at risk. If that’s true, so is Bea’s and she must be with her dad.

"Paul's main concern is Bea's safety and well-being. Going for full custody is a last resort but he's really scared for his child. He doesn't feel he's got a choice now."

Sir Paul is said to be consulting lawyers on the matter.
