Heather Mills has compared herself to her “friend” Hillary Clinton.

The former glamor model – who bagged a $50m settlement when she finalized her divorce from Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney in 2008 – said both she and Hillary, who is now the US Secretary of State, had gone through “hell” but triumphed because of their “strength”.

She told Page Six Magazine, “When you marry a Beatle, you marry 120 million fans who are also madly in love with him. This has meant years of hurtful and untrue press… my friends remind me that this happens to many strong, successful women.

“I’ve watched my friend Hillary Clinton go through a hell of a time and still come out on top due to her strength.”

Referring to her current relationship with Paul, 66, former glamor girl Heather said, “We get on fine. We’re like any civil divorced couple.”
