Heather Mills 'will leave Britain'

Heather Mills' father has predicted she will leave Britain after her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney.

The divorce hearing at London's High Court enters the third of five scheduled days.

Miss Mills' father, Mark, told reporters he believes she will move to France or America with the couple's daughter Beatrice, four, when the divorce is finalised.

"She won't stay in this country. She knows everybody hates her and she does not care," he said.

"I think she's very low at the moment and would leap at the chance to get away from it all and take her daughter Bea with her.

"I think she'll go abroad and then just slowly fade away into obscurity."

Mr Mills, 66, who lives in Washington, Tyne and Wear, said he fears his daughter will be "torn to shreds" by Sir Paul's lawyers during the divorce hearing.

Miss Mills, 40, is thought to be representing herself and her father said he was proud of her.

He said it took guts to represent yourself at the High Court.

Mr Mills said he was now reconciled with his daughter after a period of estrangement.
