Heather Mills loses role in Celebrity Apprentice

Ex-model won't be appearing in Donald Trump's hit US show

Heather Mills recently won £24 million in her divorce settlement from Sir Paul McCartney

Heather Mills is said to have been dropped from the celebrity special of The Apprentice.

The ex-model had been due to join the all-star line-up of the US version of the show, which is fronted by Donald Trump, 62.

But negotiations between Heather, 41, and the producers stalled when she allegedly asked to be guaranteed a place in the final.

‘The network were originally very keen on getting her involved,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘They thought it would attract lots of publicity for the show.

'But it soon became clear that getting her involved would be a headache.

‘It was the final straw when she said she wouldn’t take part unless she was a dead cert for the final.’

The show will be broadcast in the States in January.
