Anyone who has written lies about Heather Mills should get cancer — at least in her opinion. The former ex-wife of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney – easily one of the UK’s most hated women — believes in karma and is convinced people who have given her a hard time in the press will get their just desserts when a life-threatening disease comes rapping at their door.

“They make up such lies. They’ve called me a whore, a gold-digger, a fantasist, a liar, the most unbelievably hurtful things.”

She told Britain’s Food Monthly Magazine: “The truth always outs in the end… no one gets away with those things. Certain journalists have written horrible things, and then they’ve got cancer, or they’ve had a tumour, or they’ve died. And it’s terrible for them, but they’ve done really evil things. I truly believe things come back around.”
