Heather Mills was fired from US TV show ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ before filming even began.
The former model – the ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney - was given the push by
bosses at network NBC after she demanded a clause in her contract which
guaranteed her a place in the final, no matter how successful she was in the
rest of the show.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspapers: “Her demands were ludicrous and
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
guaranteed a place in the final – even after it was explained that wasn’t
how the show worked.
“She was politely informed that NBC wouldn’t be following up their interest
in her appearing.”
Producers were initially keen to sign Heather as they thought her
participation would be a ratings winner for the programme - which sees a
group of celebrities compete in a series of business-related tasks to
impress billionaire tycoon Donald Trump.
