Stella speaks out

Fashion designer Stella McCartney has said that constant questions about her father, Beatles member Paul McCartney, are irritating, in a BBC1 documentary.

Leading fashion designer Stella McCartney has spoken out on BBC1 documentary 'Imagine: Stella's Story', about how she's more than a little annoying with incessantly being asked about her dad (he was a musician in a popular sixties band called the Beatles).

She said: "People don't generally go up to people and go 'Hi, how's your dad?' and that can get quite irritating after a while. So you're like 'Yeah, he's fine - how's your dad?' You can get quite aggressive. I'm not as bad now because hopefully people judge me on what I do for a living. You're definitely conscious of it and you're paranoid and you think that they hate you and you overhear things."

Stella's dad's band had a number of hits back in the day, and we've heard he still plays the occasional gig.
