Mills fails to sue for prostitute allegations

Heather Mills has failed to fulfil her promise of suing a British tabloid over allegations she was a high-class prostitute - because she forgot to file the legal papers in time.

Heather Mills has failed to fulfil her promise of suing a British tabloid over allegations she was a high-class prostitute - because she forgot to file the legal papers in time.

In June 2006, Paul McCartney's estranged wife was accused by a Sunday newspaper of sleeping with wealthy Arabs for cash during her time as a glamour model - allegations Mills has always denied.

The 39-year-old vowed to fight the claims by suing for defamation, but missed the 12 June deadline to go through with the legal action because of her ongoing divorce battle with the former Beatle.

A friend tells British newspaper the Daily Star: "She's had a lot on her plate."
