Mills dropped from 'Celebrity Apprentice'

Producers of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice have decided not to have Heather Mills on the show after she made "ludicrous" contract demands.

Network NBC had Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife lined up to appear on the show but rejected Mills after she allegedly insisted on a clause in her contract to guarantee her a place in the final.

An insider 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."

The new series of Trump's Celebrity Apprentice begins filming in two weeks. Meanwhile, the contestants are being kept under wraps.

Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan won last year's celebrity version of the business reality show.
