Heather Mills spoke to GMTV’s Fiona Phillips and Andrew Castle this morning.

Fiona Phillips: Right, Heather Mills is in the studio, at her own request and she’s had enough really haven’t you?

Heather Mills: I’ve had 18 months of absolute abuse and they tried to ruin my daughter’s birthday party which I spent ages organizing, saying I killed the dog next door.

FP: This was in yesterday’s Sun wasn’t it?

HM: Complete rubbish. I ended up being in contact with the lady. She’d said, to get something out of The Sun that the dog had had a heart-attack. I chased back to the vet Tim and he said, ‘What a load of rubbish! The dog had been ill for a while and dies of abdominal catastrophe on Sunday night. Twenty-four hours after the party because a friend of mine put some fireworks on as a surprise for my daughter. Which all the village knew about and came to. Everything they write is complete rubbish.

FP: And this was £10,000 worth of fireworks!

HM: Can you imagine?! What a lovely friend!

FP: And according to today’s papers, it’s only little snippets, you spent over £100,000 on Beatrice’s fourth birthday.

HM: Oh yes, that’s right. They said I banned cameras. Everybody had cameras. I banned mobile phones. I just have friends that don’t sell their pictures to newspapers. That woman that did the story on the dog, if she’s so upset, why is she standing there posing for The Sun the day her dog died? What I just want to do is clear up a few things. For six years, when I lost my leg, I was the model that overcame adversity, inspired other amputees to get on with their lives. Front page of all the newspapers. The Sun, ‘Model of Courage’. They serialised my book. I told my whole life story in my book. It all went to charity. The Sun had it there. I talked about my glamour modeling when I was a teenager. I wanted to be the Marie Whittaker, the Linda Lusardi, the Samantha Fox, that was the thing to be in the 80s, I was a teenager. Then they eliminate now my whole 20 years of my life of campaigning and put in things like, ‘Hard Core Porn Queen’. All this disgusting stuff from my topless days. And then the poor guy who did this book called ‘Joy For Sex’, basically gets this much of an apology, because they call his book a ‘Hard Core Porn’ thing. It’s so ridiculous. Paul knew about my glamour modeling. It was in the papers every week for the three years that we were engaged and they try and say ‘they broke up because she’s a glamour model’. It is such lies.

FP: So what are you going to do?

HM: Just like I changed the law with some like-minded people, anyone that wants to help go to Youk.com. and you’ll see how you can help and sign a petition. I need to get everyone to petition that they don’t want to be lied to anymore by the press, they want their children to grow up in a society where press is just and fair and the size of the lie that they print is the size of the apology that they have to print. They have to reveal their made up sources and their so-called friends unless it’s a criminal situation. Because they make up such lies. They’ve called me a whore, a gold-digger, a fantasist, a liar, the most unbelievably hurtful things. I’ve stayed quiet for my daughter. We’ve had death threats, I’ve been close to suicide. I’m so upset about this (crying). I’ve had worse threats than a paedophile or a murderer and I’ve done nothing but charity for 20 years. I came on here talking about vegetarianism 15 years ago. I sat here and Dr Hilary Jones said ‘She’s crazy, she’s talking about wheatgrass and giving up meat and dairy’. And then they want to write that I just suddenly make up vegetarianism to please Paul. You’ve got footage. Find it, show it. Everyone has jumped on the band wagon. My sister was crying her eyes out because that awful Jordan and Peter Andre did a joke on Sunday and I’ve had six amputee girls crying their eyes out because they’re getting bullied at school because people are joking about the loss of my limb. Jonathan Ross said ‘She’s such an effing liar. We’ll find out she’s got two legs instead of one.’ I have protected my husband. I know everything and I know the truth. I even got an apology, because the judge pushed for it when they said that my petition was a lie. And the size of the apology? ‘We’re sorry. We now accept that the judge did not throw out any of her claims, she was not portrayed as a liar in court and did not erupt with rage.’

FP: Alright, but there will be people at home saying that at the beginning Heather, you did use the press so…
