Heather Mills McCartney accused a “certain corner” today of feeding spin to the media to smear her.

Paul McCartney’s estranged wife, who is locked in divorce negotiations with her husband, also launched a fierce attack on the media for “pushing her to the edge” and called on the public to stop buying tabloid newspapers.

In an interview with GMTV, she compared the media’s treatment of her to that of Kate McCann and Princess Diana, and said she had received death threats and been “close to suicide”.

At one point she appeared to break down, later apologising for becoming upset and saying: “What are we doing as a nation buying these newspapers?

“We need to force a change as a responsible nation.”
