He remained in contact with Heather, 40, until she married Paul, 65, in 2002.

He added to Britain's News of the World newspaper: "I hung around because I didn't think Paul and Heather would last. I knew what Heather was like. She only married him because it opened up lots of doors for her."

Meanwhile, the former model reportedly wept over the weekend after Paul snubbed her desperate pleas to settle their divorce in private.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Heather kept phoning but he wouldn't take her calls. When she eventually did get through she was in tears. She is desperate to settle out of court, but he ended the conversation by saying, 'I will see you in court'. She wanted to tell him she wasn't unfaithful and is worried the claims will affect her payment."

Heather, who parted ways with her legal team after she accused them of giving her bad advice, will represent herself in the five-day hearing.

She is planning to ask Judge Mr. Justice Bennett for a £50 million cash pay out and £30 million in assets and maintenance.

Paul and Heather, who have a four-year-old daughter Beatrice, split in 2006.
