Paul McCartney's wife Heather Mills is so fed up with being criticised in the press, she sometimes wishes she'd never married the former Beatle.
Mills wed McCartney in 2002 and has since endured a mountain of negative publicity that she often feels is taking over her life.
She says: "There have been lots of times I have regretted meeting Paul. I was so happy in my old life.
"I've gone from someone who never had a negative article written about them to being absolutely persecuted.
"It was initially such a shock. Now I feel as though am stuck in prison. Eventually they will go after someone else and I'll be allowed out on probation."
And Mills gets so upset when she is accused of only marrying McCartney for his money, she has vowed to stay out of the limelight from now on.
She adds: "That is like saying my husband is only a pot of gold, that he is not sexy, can't sing, has no humour and is not loving or romantic.
"I don't want to expose myself to being whipped and lashed any more. To feel such venom coming at you is so shocking it takes your breath away."
