Private Eye journalist: Heather Mills pretended to be me

By Press Gazette

Private Eye journalist Heather Mills revealed this week that Lady Heather Mills McCartney had "pretended to be me for over a year".

Journalist Mills said this occurred in the late '90s, when she worked on The Observer. Writing in The Mail on Sunday this week, Mills said: "She posed as me, not only to her friends, but in a series of meetings with television executives. She even showed people cuttings of stories I had written."
