Heather Mills-McCartney, the estranged wife of singer Paul McCartney, has revealed that she has received death threats.
The former model said, in an interview with BBC News, that she feared for her own personal safety and had little money to pay for security.
Mills McCartney said: "We have had a few death threats, which was scary."
She also said that her personal trainer, Ben Amigoni, who she emphasised was "not my lover", was helping to protect her.
She made the comments during a visit to Brussels to campaign against the fur trade.
The former model also denied that she was copying McCartney's first wife Linda by campaigning for animal rights.
"It was definitely because I married my husband - nothing to do with Linda - I was sent this video of dogs and cats being skinned alive," she said.
