Other guests included Spice Girls star Mel C and Smiths singer Johnny Marr.

Stella and Mary are the daughters of Beatles legend Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda, alongside their younger brother James, now a 45-year-old musician, and Heather, now 60, Linda’s daughter from a previous relationship. Paul also has a daughter Beatrice, 19, with ex Heather Mills.

The release comes after Stella received backlash for a fashion shoot featuring topless model Kendall Jenner on horseback for her new Winter 2023 campaign.

Photographed by Harley Weir in the French salt station of the Camargue, the next generation model and equestrian, 27, was captured among the region’s famous white ponies.

Speaking about hiring Kendall for the campaign, Stella said: “I knew the Stella girl this season had to love horses as much as I do.

“Kendall has been riding since he was a kid, just like me, and he has his own ranch; you can see how relaxed she is around these sensitive creatures and they with her.

‘Making this connection brings Horse Power to life, both through fashion and vision.’

However, animal rights campaigners complained that her multi-million pound Horse Power adverts exploited animals.

Stella hit back at critics, told friends that the ad campaign was a tribute to her mother, Linda, who loved horses.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: “The collection was initially inspired by Stella’s late mother Linda, who was a lifelong horse lover and introduced Stella and her siblings to caring for these animals.”

The horses used in the commercials were Spanish thoroughbreds, known as Andalusians, which bear a striking resemblance to the Appaloosa, the breed her mother loved in the US.

Hot water: It comes after Stella received backlash over a fashion shoot featuring model Kendall Jenner naked on horseback for her new Winter 2023 campaign.

The horse’s owner, Jean-Francois Pignon, also added that Stella “put the horses first” during the fashion shoot.

He said: “My horses respond to love and respect. Stella put horses first. She and Kendall were empathetic and I could tell they both felt very comfortable around them.

“When I asked for a break to feed or water them, Stella immediately agreed. No animals were exploited or harmed. It was a calm and harmonious recording where the horses were number one.’
