Heather Mills taken to court over a spray tan.

Heather Mills is being taken to court over a spray tan.
A case has been filed against the former model by Sara Trumble, who despite
being hired as a nanny to Heather and her ex-husband Sir Paul McCartney’s
daughter Beatrice, now five, alleges she was forced to use a tanning machine
to give the naked star a bronze glow, work unreasonable hours and blow dry
her employer’s hair.
A spokesperson for Heather – who has reportedly refused the chance to settle
the sex discrimination case out of court – said: "Heather is devastated that
Sara, who Heather considered a part of her family, should choose to level
these accusations at her. This claim will be vigorously defended.
"Heather is baffled and hurt. These are unsubstantiated accusations."
Sara - who says she was forced to work until midnight to dry Heather’s hair
after beginning her day at 7.30am - is also expected to claim she was
intimidated by the charity campaigner, who demanded she keep silent about
everything she saw and heard.
The 24-year-old nanny, who resigned in September, lodged a constructive
dismissal claim with an employment tribunal in Ashford, Kent, last week.
In the complaint, Sara states her job had changed when she returned to work
following maternity leave earlier this year.
A source close to Heather insists the charity campaigner always treated her
employee well, saying: “Heather gave Sara an awful lot of things. When Sara
resigned, she got a car as a leaving present for goodness sake. She also
paid for her to have private medical treatment. Heather is baffled and hurt.
These are unsubstantiated accusations.”
Heather, 40, is expected to defend herself by saying Sara was employed as a
housekeeper not just a nanny, and was showered with gifts, including a
lavish holiday to thank her for her work and Beatrice’s old clothes for her
new baby.
The two parties have 28 days to reach a settlement before the case goes to a
tribunal.
