Mills: 'Paul laughed at my false leg'

Heather Mills has threatened to release a tape allegedly featuring her ex-husband Sir Paul McCartney and his daughter Stella laughing at her prosthetic leg.

The former model reportedly told a friend that she is prepared to use the recording if the ex-Beatle fails to admit responsibility for the failure of their marriage.

The telephone conversation was supposedly recorded last year after Mills bugged the phone line at McCartney's estate in Peasmarsh, East Sussex.

A friend of Mills' told the Sunday Mirror: "What she says she heard Sir Paul say on the tape about her amputated leg left her incandescent with rage. She says he used an insulting slang word about disabled people. That he and Stella - her arch-enemy - had a laugh about it. Heather was - and still is - seething about it."

The friend added that Mills had confronted Sir Paul with the tape and he had immediately apologised.
