Stella McCartney has revealed how she was embarrassed to be seen with her superstar dad when she was younger.

The designer claims she dreaded schoolmates finding out who her famous father was and would hate being taken to school in Macca’s car.

“I spent half my life denying that Paul McCartney was my dad,” she told Grazia magazine.

“My biggest fear as a kid was being late for school and missing the bus, because it meant dad would take me in his Mercedes. I was mortified each time.”

Since she has made it big in the fashion world, Paul has taken to joking that: “Now they ask if I’m Stella McCartney’s dad.”
