Heather Mills' charitable divorce?

Model-turned-campaigner Heather Mills has hinted that she is planning to give a large percentage of her divorce settlement to charity.

Mills, 39, is said to be planning on donating a whopping 80 per cent of the money she is awarded in her divorce case with estranged husband Paul McCartney because she regularly gives away that amount of her earnings.

Speaking during an interview with US news programme Access Hollywood, the 39-year-old indicated what her intentions would be when her settlement is worked out in court but said that she cannot confirm her plans to make a donation because it will affect how much she is awarded.

Host Billy Bush asked her: "If I'm to understand this correctly... when the settlement is over... 80 per cent of whatever you get is going to charity?"

Mills replied, "Well, I can't officially say that because then I won't get it, because the judge will say, 'If you're going to do that with it, you can't have it!' So I can't say that. But I have, in my life, given 80 per cent of my income to charity."

No settlement has been agreed upon by Mills and McCartney yet. It is thought that she is asking for a sum of around £50 million.
