Heather Mills "baptized" Paul McCartney's lawyer

Heather Mills has already publicly slated Paul McCartney's lawyer - but it seems things may have been even less civilized in the privacy of the courtroom.

Fiona Shackleton - who has represented Sir Paul in his bitter divorce from the former glamor model since the beginning - left London's High Court this afternoon with wet hair, fueling speculation that Heather poured a jug of water over her head.

Heather then made the comment that Shackleon had been "baptized in court", but refused to say whether she threw the water herself.

Heather, often referred to as Mucca by British tabloids, has not shied away from criticizing her ex-husband's lawyer.

In a statement outside court today, Heather, 40, accused Ms Shackleton of handling the couple's divorce "in the worst manner you could ever, ever imagine".

BBC reporter Sophie Hutchinson said the contrast in Ms Shackleton's appearance was clear to see.

"Usually she has this rather fly-away blonde hair. But this afternoon, about 2pm, when they left, she's got this damp hair," she said.

"So the BBC called Heather Mills and we asked her what had happened. And she laughed it off.

"She said that Fiona Shackleton had been 'baptised in court', suggesting that perhaps she had had some water put on her head somehow.

"She also said Miss Shackleton had made unpleasant comments about Heather Mills being in a wheelchair, during the case.

"But Heather Mills would not say whether she threw any water herself."

Neither Ms Shackleton nor Miss Mills could be contacted for comment.
