The organisers of the Miss USA 2008 pageant have reportedly said that Heather Mills has an "enormous ego".

According to The Mirror, the organisers never want to work with Mills again because of her diva behaviour.

The animal rights activist allegedly refused to sign a deal with bosses allowing coverage of the event to be shown around the world.

A source said: "She wants to get paid if they resell the footage. Her ego is enormous. She treated this like she was starring in a big-budget movie."

Mills was greeted by a mixed reception when she was introduced as a judge at the pageant, but claimed later that she was unperturbed by the audience's reaction.
