London
(ANI):
Former
model
Heather
Mills
lost
a
role
in
the
US
version
of
Celebrity
Apprentice,
when
she
demanded
a
clause
be
added
in
her
contract
guaranteeing
her
a
place
in
the
final.
Mills
had
been
chosen
to
take
part
in
the
reality
TV
hit,
which
is
famous
in
Britain
for
boss
Sir
Alan
Sugar's
catchphrase:
"You're
fired".
But
when
she
insisted
that
she
would
appear
in
the
final
no
matter
how
she
succeeded
in
the
show's
task,
the
producers
at
US
network
NBC
refused
to
hire
her.
Though
41-year-old
Mills
headed
the
list
of
celebrities
they
wanted
for
the
programme,
she
was
told
that
her
services
were
not
required.
"The
network
were
originally
very
keen
on
getting
her
involved," the
Sun
quoted
an
NBC
source
as
saying.
"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
source
added.
The
show
mirrors
The
Apprentice
in
the
UK
and
features
billionaire
tycoon
Donald
Trump
in
Sir
Alan's
starring
role.
The
new
series
starts
filming
in
a
fortnight,
and
goes
on
air
next
January.
