Heather Mills has said losing her leg was "easier to cope with" than what happened after her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney.

She said she was not a fan of The Beatles and nowadays she does not live a celebrity lifestyle.

Mills, who lost her leg after she was hit by a police motorbike two decades ago, said it is "very hard to be married to a Beatle".

"Linda had it tough, Yoko had it tough and what happened to me after the divorce... losing my leg was easier to cope with," the former model told the Mail on Sunday.

"I'm not embarrassed about my leg - in fact a good chat-up line from me is, 'How do you fancy massaging my stump?'"

She said she married Sir Paul because she was "completely in love with him".
