Sainsbury's give Mucca the boot

HEATHER Mills was booted out of a Sainsbury’s supermarket at the weekend — because she was once a teenage shoplifter.
The estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney had dropped in on the store while visiting pals in her native North East.
But a staff member recognised her and refused to let her in, saying she was banned for crimes committed more than 20 YEARS ago.
The humiliated ex-model stormed off as stunned shoppers looked on.
And to make things worse, last night it appeared shop staff had got it WRONG.
Sainsbury’s bosses said she wasn’t banned from any of their stores and was welcome any time.
Heather, 38, hit trouble while visiting the Savacentre in Washington, Tyne and Wear, with a bodyguard. One shopper said: “A woman worker went up to Heather and stopped her going in. She said, ‘Excuse me, Heather, you know you’re not allowed in there, you know the situation’.
“Heather replied, ‘For Christ’s sake, that was years ago. Do you honestly think I’m going to shoplift now? I’ve moved on from there’.
“But the woman wouldn’t budge. Heather walked away, head down. You could tell she was horrified.”
Heather, dubbed Lady Mucca over her porn pics past, told in her autobiography Out On A Limb how she stole supermarket food in her teens.
She wrote: “By ten I was an old hand. Pinching food was really quite easy, I discovered.”
Her ordeal is the latest blow in a traumatic few months since her split from ex-Beatle Sir Paul, 64. She is trying to land half the rocker’s billion-pound fortune.
A Sainsbury’s spokesman said: “We can confirm Heather Mills McCartney would be most welcome to shop in any of our stores.”
SIR Paul has snubbed Heather by dedicating his new classical album to late first wife Linda. He said Ecce Cor Meum contained her “spirit”.
