The former model, who has an artificial leg, said she was humiliated after staff brought her a wheelchair instead of an electric buggy.

She was overheard telling staff: "Have you got it in for me? This is vile. Why are you doing this to me? Don't you know I only have one leg? Why are you treating me like this?"

Ms Mills, 38, who is locked in a bitter divorce battle with Sir Paul McCartney, checked in for a 7am flight to Brussels.

She had reportedly requested a wheelchair when she booked her flight, but apparently expected to get a ride to the departure gate in an electric buggy.

"A source near the BA desk, whose staff were handling her flight with SN Brussels, said: "Heather's face fell when she saw the wheelchair. She was mortified. Eventually, after getting a few things off her chest, she decided to walk to the plane."

The source added: "It created a bit of a fuss which a fair few people witnessed." BA said it had not received a complaint.
