Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills

The Beatles legend married former model Heather in 2002 but began divorce proceedings just five years later after finding it "increasingly difficult" to maintain a civil relationship. In the legal battle that followed, Heather - who has daughter Beatrice with the 'Hey Jude' singer - sought more than $100 million as a settlement but was eventually awarded just under $30 million, however, Heather was "very very pleased" with the result. Heather - who lost her left leg below the knee after being hit by a police motorcycle aged 25 - later said: "I was absolutely devastated and numb. I didn't know what to do. Losing my left leg in a motorcycle accident was 20 times easier to deal with than losing my marriage. The thing that kept me going was Beatrice and my friends and family."
