Heather Mills shoots film to make it look like she’s being hounded by paparazzi

Heather Mills, the estranged wife of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has made a cleverly edited video in which she appears to be hounded by paparazzi and nearly caught up in a Princess Diana-style car crash.

The 2-minute video, dubbed 'Hunting Heather', reportedly includes clips shot by Mills' personal trainer, 23-year-old Ben Amigoni, set to the Batman theme.

The footage ends with the aftermath of a car crash involving a paparazzo, with Mills, 40, saying: "Someone could have been killed today. There's glass all over the place. The guy has had a mega crash trying to chase us."

However, it has been claimed that the crash - which took place last year in Hove, East Sussex - where Heather has a home - had nothing to with the former hooker, who was in a nearby Starbucks coffee bar at the time. It was only caught on film because Amigoni saw it from inside the coffee shop and dashed out with his camera rolling.

A photog present at the crash scene revealed: "Heather was tucked up inside the coffee shop. She had nothing to do with it and there was certainly no chase going on. It's interesting to see how the video has been pieced together to make it look like she was nearly involved in an horrific accident. She has even added sound effects of screeching car tires."

The video will be seen on Mills' new website, YouCare.com, which is due to be launched later this year.

It is believed she will also use it as evidence at her divorce hearing this week, when she hopes to win an $160million settlement from Sir Paul McCartney.

Heather and Paul, 65, are due to take their bitter divorce battle to the High Court in London today.
