Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills claims she and 90 others have been awarded the highest media libel settlement in British legal history.

It’s after the Washington born model settled her case against the News of the World newspaper over phone hacking.

News Group Newspapers, which owned the now defunct tabloid, have issued an apology.

Speaking outside the High Court, the businesswoman says many people have been affected.

The exact figure of her pay-out is not known.
