Heather: I wish Paul's 3 girlfriends best of luck

Heather Mills today launched an astonishing tirade against Sir Paul McCartney, accusing him of having three girlfriends.

Ms Mills declared on live television this morning: "I wish all the girls the best of luck. Better them than me."

In her first interview since winning a £24.3million divorce settlement from the ex-Beatle, Ms Mills vowed to continue her legal fight to get full transcripts of her divorce hearing made public. She said she was still fighting with McCartney "every day" over their divorce.

She went on to boast about pouring water over the head of Sir Paul's lawyer Fiona Shackleton at the end of the High Court case and claimed she had done it to "cleanse and baptise" her.

McCartney has been photographed in newspapers on holiday in the Caribbean in recent days with US heiress Nancy Shevell. Since splitting from Ms Mills, he has also been linked to actress Rosanna Arquette and former Olympic horsewoman Tanya Larrigan.

Ms Mills's comments, made on GMTV, will risk the further wrath of Mr Justice Bennett, the divorce judge who accused her of being a "less than candid" witness, living in a land of "make-belief ".

She accused the judge, probably Britain's most respected divorce judge, of being "one-sided" in his damning judgment which left her reputation in tatters.

Mr Justice Bennett issued a gagging order at the end of the case preventing any of the parties revealing further details about the marriage or the divorce case. Ms Mills, 40, a former glamour model, may now find herself in contempt of court.

It is understood that Mrs Shackleton has already fired off at least one warning letter to Ms Mills's legal team over comments made in the Evening Standard last week by her lawyer David Rosen.

Ms Mills, speaking from the US where she is judging a beauty contest, said today: "I think he's got three different girlfriends."

She went on to describe her divorce battle with Sir Paul, 65, as "David versus Goliath".

She explained said she poured a carafe of water over Mrs Shackleton after claiming the divorce lawyer had muttered something under her breath at the end of the hearing during arguments over whether the divorce judgement should be made public.

Ms Mills said today: "The trial happened, it finished, I was thanked by the judge, and that was the end of that.

"I went back to the court, and Paul's lawyers and him argued to have the judgment put out with all my daughter's private information and our private information on this onesided judgment.

"And Mrs Shackleton said something under her breath so I cleansed and baptised her. I thought she looked fantastic - I thought it did her the world of good and now I'm getting lots of offers to restyle the hair of women of her age.

"I'm fighting to be able to clear my name. I don't need to talk about Paul.

"You've seen what I've been through over the past year. I just want my daughter to know the truth."
