heather millsHeather Mills took new boyfriend Jamie Walker on her £250,000 divorce celebration holiday last week.

Heather took around 20 loyal staff and friends, including Jamie, on the week-long holiday to Richard Branson’s private island in the Caribbean, Necker - at a cost of £24,000 a night, plus more than £50,000 on flights.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “Heather wanted to celebrate the divorce in style, and to thank everyone in Team

“The cost of the Necker trip was way in excess of £150,000 – around £100,000 in excess of it. But it was a one-off celebration for the people around her, so from her point of view it was well worth it.

“She asked the island’s staff to serve only vegan food and they all spent a lot of time water-skiing and on jet-skis.”

The couple met when Jamie was caring for Heather’s daughter Beatrice in the kids’ club at the Abama Hotel in Tenerife earlier in the year but the source explained that once their relationship came to light, Jamie was more than happy to leave his job behind for the holiday: “The [hotel] bosses quite liked the media attention because they thought it was good publicity.

“But Jamie thought it would be easier to get away and let all the fuss die down. Heather stepped in and offered him a bolthole.

“Jamie knows all about Heather’s past and all he’s bothered about is the present. They are very happy together.”

In March, Heather was awarded a £24.3million settlement in her divorce from Paul McCartney.
