Heather Mills, skiingHeather Mills took 40 friends and family on a skiing holiday to help celebrate her 39th birthday on Friday - but it was far from a lavish affair.

Despite expecting a multi-million pound divorce settlement, Heather flew the party to Slovenia in economy class on a scheduled flight and stayed in a £27-a-night hotel. The group, including Heather’s fitness instructor Ben Amigoni, then had to travel for two hours from their hotel to find slopes to ski on due to a mild winter.

An onlooker at the hotel told the Sun: “It was a shock to see her somewhere so cheap. She could easily afford the best resorts.”
