Heather Mills has turned down the chance to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.

Producers were keen to snap up the 39-year-old, who is in the middle of a bitter divorce battle with Sir Paul McCartney.

The 39-year-old, recently voted off US show Dancing With The Stars, has been approached to appear in a number of British TV projects.

But her spokesman said today: "It is true that Heather has been approached by the producers of several reality TV shows, but she has declined on every occasion and will not be appearing on any such programme.

"She took part in Dancing With The Stars to raise money for one of the charities she supports, but it was a one-off and there are no plans to do any others in the future.

"People have been wishing her luck on Celebrity Big Brother when she is out shopping or playing with her daughter and she feels it unfair the public have been misled.

"It has also led to an increase in attention from paparazzi photographers around her home. Heather is hoping this will end the speculation."
