Michele Elyzabeth, the former spokesperson for Heather Mills, said that Mills’ appearance on Desperate Housewives was already planned and should have been followed through, but the plans were botched.
According to FemaleFirst, Elyzabeth revealed that the producers of the series were intrigued by the idea of Mills on the show, but Eva Longoria Parker was totally against it.
Elyzabeth said, "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."
