Mills 'signs £3m Burger King deal'

Heather Mills has signed a £3 million deal to promote vegetarian food at Burger King, according to a report.

The ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney has apparently agreed to back the launch of a new meat-free burger at the chain's 11,350 outlets worldwide.

A friend told The People: "Heather is ecstatic. She believes she can change the eating habits of millions. She's also being paid a lot of money and the deal will help boost her standing."

News of Mills's deal comes just three months after McCartney announced plans to revamp his late wife Linda's vegetarian food range.

A source close to McCartney commented: "Sir Paul will probably see a certain sense of irony in Heather's career move. But he won't be fuming. If more people become vegetarian as a result of this, then some good will come out of it."

Mills has also decided to launch a range of plant-based food at her new seaside cafe.

A spokesperson for the ex-model said: "Heather has been a vegan ever since she lost her leg and she has been developing and refining vegan recipes ever since."
