London
(ANI):
Heather
Mills'
former
nanny
Sara
Trumble
has
revealed
how
she
had
to
bear
the
diva-like
antics
of
Sir
Paul
McCartney's
ex
wife.
Trumble,
26,
told
an
employment
tribunal
that
the
Dancing
on
Ice
star
left
her
a
"rude" voicemail
rant
on
Mothers'
Day.
The
message
asked
Trumble
to
come
to
work
even
as
she
was
on
maternity
leave
and
had
a
difficult
pregnancy.
She
also
claimed
a
suspicious
Mills,
42,
questioned
her
over
whether
a
new
male
pal
had
been
flirting
with
her.
Trumble,
who
quit
after
she
was
replaced
as
a
nanny
and
assigned
cleaning
duties,
is
claiming
undisclosed
damages
on
grounds
of
discrimination
over
maternity
leave,
sex
discrimination
and
unfair
dismissal.
Mills,
mum
to
McCartney's
daughter
Beatrice,
six,
could
be
seen
quite
disconcerted
as
Trumble
gave
evidence
before
a
panel
of
three
in
Ashford,
Kent.
She
shook
her
head
and
murmured
"no,
no" when
Nick
Fairweather,
representing
Trumble,
called
upon
the
tribunal
to
accept
evidence
Mills
was
a
known
"liar",
referring
to
her
High
Court
divorce
ruling.
However,
the
panel
dismissed
it
as
"not
relevant"
to
the
case.
The
panel
was
told
how
Trumble
met
Mills
in
2003
at
a
health
club
in
Rye,
East
Sussex,
where
the
ex-nanny
was
working
as
a
beauty
therapist.
Mills
asked
if
she
would
babysit
Beatrice
for
her
and
McCartney,
67,
in
the
evenings
at
their
nearby
home.
"I
thought
Heather
was
really
nice
and
genuine
and
the
two
of
us
got
on
very,
very
well," the
Sun
quoted
Trumble,
as
telling
the
tribunal.
In
April
2004
she
took
up
the
job
of
a
nanny
with
Mills,
who
paid
her
260pounds
a
week
cash-in-hand
on
a
self-employed
basis
five
days
a
week.
Trumble
said:
"She
told
me
how
much
she
trusted
me
with
Beatrice.
I
thought
it
was
a
good
opportunity
and
I
fancied
a
change."
She
went
on:
"I
bring
these
proceedings
with
much
sadness
as
I
saw
Heather
as
a
friend.
Heather
can
be
very
generous,
but
there
was
also
a
distrustable
and
unpleasant
side
of
her.
She
likes
to
surround
herself
with
people
who
will
support
her
blindly.
She
is
also
very
highly
strung.
I
do
believe
that
Heather
is
more
than
capable
of
lying
and
getting
others
to
lie
for
her.
I
believe
I
was
sidelined,
perhaps
as
I
was
no
more
use
to
her."
Trumble
began
work
at
the
McCartneys'
home
in
Peasmarsh,
Sussex,
while
Mills
was
still
the
former
Beatles'
wife.
She
said
she
and
Mills
had
a
"close
personal
relationship" and
that
her
boss
even
bought
her
a
new
car
-
a
sporty
two-seat
Daihatsu
Copen.
Mills
separated
from
McCartney
in
2006.
Trumble
said:
"She
was
very
bitter
towards
him.
I
was,
I
believe,
a
great
source
of
comfort
and
support
for
her
at
this
time."
But
their
relationship
turned
sour
when
Trumble
returned
from
six
months''
maternity
leave
after
giving
birth
to
a
baby
girl.
She
said
she
was
asked
to
come
to
Mills''
house
-
while
still
on
leave
in
2007
-
to
record
a
video
interview.
Trumble
said:
"I
was
asked
to
tell
them
how
wonderful
I
thought
Heather
was.
I
felt
I'd
no
option."
Mills
allegedly
called
her
and
angrily
asked
when
she
would
resume
her
duties.
Trumble
said:
"It
was
a
really
horrible,
rude
message,
and
it
reduced
me
to
tears."
