heather millsHeather Mills has reportedly lost her place in the US version of Celebrity Apprentice after demanding she was guaranteed a place in the final.

The show, headed by tycoon Donald Trump, starts filming at the end of the month and will be broadcast in the States in January - but after Heather’s demand, sources say she’s not going to be included in the currently-secret line-up.

A production source told the Sun: “The network were originally very keen on getting her involved. They thought it would be a clever move, attracting lots of publicity for the show.

“But 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 a dead cert for 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.”

Last season’s winner Piers Morgan has gone onto judge talent show America’s Got Talent. Heather previously appeared on Dancing with the Stars in the US but was knocked out after six weeks.
