Petra Ecclestone has arrived at court flanked by her sister Tamara, as her acrimonious divorce battle with James Stunt continues.
The 29-year-old heiress appeared downcast as she made her way into the family court in London for more legal proceedings in her £5.5 million divorce.
Her appearance comes amid her billionaire ex-husband James reacting angrily to claims that the £90million burglary at his home was a con.
He had previously claimed that he was the victim of Britain’s biggest ever burglary with £90million of cash and valuables said to have been stolen from his house in Belgravia, which he moved into after the pair split.
The couple’s divorce was granted in October but legal wrangling has continued over their shared £5.5billion fortune.

He said: ‘I’ve nothing to hide. I’m a victim with no upside to this embarrassment of having no insurance.
‘It’s disgusting how people are commenting that I’m a criminal. It’s not true or fair. I just want whoever did this arrested and my things back.’
He went on to say that his dead brother’s watch was among the items that were stolen and said he ‘wished he had insurance’ in a strong condemnation of the claims that the robbery was a con.
He told police that thieves had emptied the safe in the basement of his Georgian townhouse in Belgravia last month while he slept upstairs.
Cash, gold and diamond jewellery worth up to £90million was stolen in the raid, according to The Sun on Sunday.
The billionaire, who left his house flanked by several members of his security detail at lunchtime today, said his property was not insured and updates on the investigation would come from the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad, which is leading the probe.
Asked what the latest update was on the investigation, he said: ‘You will have to talk to the Flying Squad. I have no insurance. I’m a victim.’
He then climbed into the back seat of his luxury custom Rolls Royce before being driven away from the Belgravia townhouse.
