Heather Mills is said to be "seriously considering" launching an appeal over her divorce payout from Paul McCartney.

Pals claim that Heather is disappointed with the £25million award and with arrangements concerning their four-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

One tells The Mirror: "She is not at all happy. She expected to get more money than £25million otherwise she could have settled months ago.

"But it's not really about the money. She is more upset about who will care for Beatrice if both she and Paul died.

"They both want different people to look after Bea and it appears Paul has got his way.

"Heather is considering carefully the pros and cons of taking it to the Court of Appeal.

"She knows it is the last thing Paul would want but she is also aware it would mean months more of legal wrangling and she has to decide if she is up to that or whether to draw a line and walk away."

A judge is set rule on the settlement today, but Heather and Paul are thought to have been aware of the details since Thursday last week.
