Heather Mills has made an ironic U-turn over her divorce proceedings with Sir Paul McCartney – she now wants to keep them private.

The former model is said to be “anxious and upset” with the final settlement expected to award her only £25 million of the former Beatles’ fortune.

After pleading for details to be made public for some time, Heather is now thought to be battling for privacy ahead of the High Court Mr Justice Bennett final judgement, which is expected tomorrow.

A source tells the Sunday Mirror, “Heather is having second thoughts on the important issue of confidentiality.

"She has been striving all along for everything to be as public as possible and for her to be allowed to talk openly after the divorce about her marriage if she needed to.

"Very dramatically and ironically, she has now changed her view in the belief that the judge's written decision may be unfavourable to her."
