Heather Mills plans to become the face of a domestic violence charity after her divorce from Paul McCartney. The estranged wife of former Beatle Sir Paul has told friends that she wants "some good" to come from her bitter marriage breakdown – and campaigning against domestic abuse is the answer. The development comes days after the Mail revealed sensational leaked divorce papers in which she accused Sir Paul of physically attacking her on four occasions during their four-year marriage. In one confrontation he allegedly stabbed her in the arm with a broken wine glass while in another he allegedly pushed her into the bath, causing her ’shock and distress’. Miss Mills is understood to have taped evidence that Sir Paul attacked her. Miss Mills, 38, says she wants to become "a spokeswoman for battered women", by becoming the face of domestic abuse charity Refuge – or Shelter, which helps the homeless, including victims of domestic abuse. McCartney’s aides fear the worst – and are concerned such an arrangement could see Heather talking on televised adverts about her own experiences. "This past week has been absolute hell for Heather," said a friend. "Since these court papers have come out, she’s become a nervous wreck, crying and permanently anxious. "But in one sense she is relieved because she feels that everything is out in the open and in that sense, the worst is over. She is looking for some good to come out of this situation and wants to be able to turn it into a future project which could actually do some good. "She basically wants to make the most of a dreadful situation – and is determined to keep up her charity work. The charities she’s mentioned are Refuge and perhaps Shelter which deals with women, the victims of domestic abuse, who have been forced out of their homes." Refuge and Shelter last night hinted they would be keen for someone as high profile as Miss Mills to come on board if it would help spread their message.

Just when I think she can’t sink any lower, she does something like this. She makes me so sick.
