People hug me in the street - Heather Mills
Strangers are showing their support for Heather Mills in her divorce battle by hugging her in the street, she said today.
Although she refused to discuss the bitter fight with ex-Beatle Sir Paul directly, she told a US TV programme: “I’m a good mother, I’m a good person. I fell in love for the right reason. I fell in love unconditionally.”
She also declared she was not having a fling with her personal trainer Ben Migoni.
She told the Extra show: “I haven’t got a lover. At the moment, I’m focusing on my daughter. It’s totally made up!”
Asked if she would ever marry again, she claimed: “Never.”
She went on: “I have had so much public support ... people hugging me in the streets ... I didn’t know that many people cared. You get to know who your friends are and I haven’t lost any friends.”
And she insisted the media’s perception of her as cold was wrong.
“Of course I have a sense of humour ... People don’t get to see that side of me,” she said.
She denied suggestions she was a gold digger, saying: “Eighty-five percent of my income goes to my charity. The word gold digger doesn’t go with that ... If I was a gold digger, I would have a lot of money in my bank account ... I’d be worth millions and millions.”
She believes her greatest accomplishment is her three-year-old daughter, Bea. She said: “I tried for a long, long time ... two ectopic pregnancies and six miscarriages. They told me I could never have children.”
As to how her relationship with her parents and her childhood, which she said “was a crazy awful childhood” had shaped her as a mother, she said: “It’s made me so protective ... She is my greatest accomplishment.”
She also spoke about her weight loss, saying: “It’s the vegan ,... but of course I’ve been anxious.”
She said she felt “amazing”, adding: “... and it’s down to being a vegan”.
As for what is in her future, she said: “What I’ve been developing is a vegan fast food chain and vegan food markets.”
The full interview, which took place in Los Angeles will be aired on Monday and Tuesday in the US.
