Chris Terrill - Personal Life

Personal Life

In 1999 Terrill became engaged to the model and activist Heather Mills after only 12 days in Cambodia, where they were making a film about landmines. Mills ended their relationship five days before their planned wedding day, later telling friends in the media that she had called the wedding off because Terrill was gay, an MI6 agent and that his mission was to undermine her anti-landmine work. All these allegations proved to be false. Terrill had once told Mills that he had been interviewed by the intelligence services when he was thinking of a career with the Foreign Office, but later said, "I soon realised that Heather had a somewhat elastic relationship with the truth, which she was able to stretch impressively sometimes". After walking out on Terrill Heather Mills was almost immediately linked to Paul McCartney who she later married but has since divorced.

In 2009 Terrill married the BAFTA award winning filmmaker Christine Hall.

On 9th February, 2013 Terrill received a full apology in open court from News Group for repeatedly hacking his phone in 2005/06. They also paid undisclosed but substantial damages plus costs.
