Eva Longoria 'vetoed Desperate Housewives cameo by Heather Mills'

Former model said to have been in talks for bit part in hit US show

Heather Mills is trying to carve a media career in the States

Eva Longoria was set against Heather Mills taking a part in Desperate Housewives, according to her former publicist Michele Elyzabeth.

The ex-model, who has had no acting experience, was in talks to do a cameo role in the hit US show.

But Eva, 33, reportedly convinced producers it was a bad idea.

‘I tried to get her on Desperate Housewives in a little cameo,’ Michele tells the News Of The World. ‘The producer was keen – I reckon they saw the chance to get some headlines for the show.

‘But when the stars discussed her casting, Eva was totally against it. She demanded Heather be dropped from consideration.’

Michele, 58, also claims Heather, 41, was turned down by other American dramas.

'I even had discussions with the bosses of Ugly Betty but they gave me a flat no. The major TV shows over here just didn’t think Heather fitted in anywhere.’
