London, Mar 25 : Heather Mills, estranged wife of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, lied about former British Prime Minister Tony Blair offering her peerage, says a media report.

In 2001 Mills claimed she was promised to be made a “people’s peer” and bragged that it was Blair’s initiative with support from Lord Macdonald, a website reported.

She went on to reveal that she wasn’t sure about becoming Baroness Mills because it was “a bit odd”.

An ITV documentary exposes the claim as a lie. The programme titled “McCartney vs McCartney: The Ex Files” interviewed the three Lords with names like Macdonald and none could say that they even met her. Mills made the claim to Sunday Times writer Jasper Gerard and he told the programme it was “incredible”.

He said: “I was pretty gobsmacked that somebody who was essentially just a model and a bit of a part-time campaigner best known for being Paul McCartney’s girlfriend should be offered a peerage.”
