A cameo appearance by Heather Mills was cut from the ABC soap Desperate Housewives after series star Eva Longoria-Parker vetoed Mills’ involvement with the show.

Heather’s former publicist Michele Elyzabeth says she once set up a “little cameo” on the show, but the role fell through because Eva was “totally against it.”

“I reckon they saw the chance to get some headlines for the show. But when the stars discussed it, [Longoria Parker] demanded Heather be dropped from consideration,” Elyzabeth says.
