Heather Mills cheated on Sir Paul McCartney, claims film editor

Tim Steel insists he had 6-month affair with glamour model

A film editor has made wild and unsubstantiated claims that he was secretly having a relationship with Heather Mills for 6 months while she was dating husband-to-be Sir Paul McCartney.

Tim Steel, 45, says he met Heather 3 years before she charmed Macca, 65, at a bravery awards ceremony in May 1999.

Heather and Paul then began dating in August, but Tim claims he and Heather were still an item until 2000.

'Marriage to him opened lots of doors for her,' Tim tells The News Of The World.

'I suppose I was flattered that Heather still wanted to have sex with me despite being pursued by this musical demi-god.

'I guess I hung around because I really didn't think Heather and Paul would last.

'He was an old bloke and I knew what Heather was like. She was only in love with what Paul could do for her. She loved the idea of being Lady McCartney.'

Sir Paul and Heather - who married in 2003 - will meet in court for a 5-day closed hearing tomorrow.

'Heather will fight Paul tooth and nail to get what she wants,' says Tim. 'She's going for the jugular and won't shy away from fighting dirty to win.

'With a click of the fingers, she can switch from smiles to tears. I hope Paul and his legal team know what they're up against and are ready for her.'

Heather Mills was unavailable for comment.
