James Packer, who took over his late billionaire father's media and gambling empire after his death in 2005, described the claims in a British television documentary as a "cheap shot".

The documentary claimed that Packer was Ms Mills's "sugar daddy" when she was alleged to have worked as a high-class prostitute. Eighties.

The claim was made by Denise Hewitt, who said she worked as a £10,000-a-night escort with Ms Mills in the

As well as the Australian tycoon, she claimed the pair workwed for Saudi arms dealer Adnan Kashoggi and an un-named Saudi prince.

"We went into high-class prostitution behind closed doors and nobody knew about it ... [Adnan] Khashoggi, Kerry Packer and one of the royal princes of Saudi, they were the big fish, and there were a couple of others that were classed as Heather's sugar daddies," Ms Hewitt, 44, said in the Channel 4 documentary, What Really Happened.

"No one knew what we did and we didn't expect it to come out. I don't look on it as sleazy. It was experiencing something we couldn't have experienced if we hadn't done this," she said.

"I believe it is a cheap shot at someone who cannot defend himself."

Ms Mills has declined to comment on the documentary.

Details of her colourful sexual history were first revealed in the News of the World in June 2006, one month after she separated from former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney.

She has denied being a callgirl for wealthy businessmen but has never sued over the allegations.

Ms Hewitt said Ms Mills was a honey trap for men.

"They just fall madly in love with her, and I take my hat off to her because she manipulates people and they're besotted ... like she throws fairy dust all over them."

Ms Hewitt also described Ms Mills's determination to marry Sir Paul before they wed in 2002.

"She said: 'I'll give him an ultimatum and if he doesn't marry me within, say, eight months, 10 months, I'm going to leave him.'"

Ms Mills was labelled a "fantasist" by a judge during the couple's divorce case last month.
