Heather Mills is blowing a quarter of a million pounds on a ‘divorce holiday’ for friends and family.

The former model will be joined by 25 of her friends and family at Richard Branson's £24,000 a night Caribbean resort Necker Island, as a thank you for their support following her acrimonious divorce battle with Sir Paul McCartney.

A friend tells the Sunday Mirror, “Heather was insistent she wanted somewhere she couldn't be photographed.

"She didn't care about the cost... all that mattered was they'd be completely alone.

“She said she was going to remortgage one of her houses to pay for it, although no one believed that for a moment. There's no doubt this is all down to the Macca millions she's about to collect."
