Heather Mills has formally registered the death threats made against her with the police.

She was seen arriving at Hove police station for a pre-booked appointment yesterday afternoon to discuss the threats made against her and her daughter Beatrice.

Heather first mentioned the threats to the police in December and since then has complained that estranged husband Paul McCartney is refusing to provide additional security.

A source close to Paul said last night: “Paul would obviously do anything to protect Beatrice. His opinion is that if Heather feels Beatrice is ever in danger, then he is more than happy for her to come and stay with him, where she will be afforded all the protection he can afford.”

“Sir Paul is not happy to pay out for protection for Heather just for her to have a vast retinue of staff to do everything for her from posting letters to joining her at the gym.”
