Heather Mills McCartney has denied claims she once worked as a £5,000-a-time prostitute.

The 38-year-old former model - who separated from husband Sir Paul McCartney last month - has furiously slammed allegations made yesterday branding them rehashed and false stories.

A statement released by her lawyers said: "Heather Mills McCartney strongly denies the allegations. These are not new stories.

"The sources are clearly are a variety of unreliable persons who have been paid for their stories.

"The timing of the articles is clearly designed to cause maximum hurt to Heather, her husband and family at the sensitive time."

Former prostitute Petrina Montrose claimed Heather worked as a call-girl specialising in group and lesbian sex in her twenties and revealed details about alleged sex games with clients including Arab millionaire businessman, Adnan Khashoggi and an unnamed Arab prince.

Petrina told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "Heather was a familiar face in our business.

"I knelt facing Heather and we performed a sex act on the prince."

Khashoggi's private secretary, Abdul Khoury, also attacked the charity campaigner as a serial liar and backed-up the claims.

He said: "She has repeatedly lied. She was a hooker. I know. I paid."

The allegations come just a week after pictures of Heather posing for a pornographic German book were revealed.
