Heather Mills has spent the majority of her $38.9 million (£24.3 million) divorce settlement from Sir Paul McCartney - in just 22 months.

The couple separated in 2006 after four years of marriage, leading to an ugly public divorce battle. The union was officially dissolved in 2008 and the former Beatle was ordered to hand over $38.9 million of his fortune to Mills, as well as annual payments for the former couple's young daughter, Beatrice.

But Mills admits most of the cash has now gone. She says,  "Most of it's been given to charity, gone into ethical businesses or paid for a couple of ­properties for my daughter's future security. I could never sit with millions of pounds in the bank that could make matters change.”
