Heather Mills booed and heckled as she appears as judge at Miss USA Pageant

A shocked Heather Mills was booed and jeered as she was introduced as a judge at the Miss USA 2008 Pageant.

The former model – who has previously claimed that public opinion of her in the US was "99 per cent positive" – was visibly upset when part of the audience at the Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas began to heckle as she took to the stage with hosts Donny and Marie Osmond.

The live TV contest was Mills's first major public appearance since her £25 million divorce settlement from Sir Paul McCartney.

It came just days after she launched an astonishing tirade against Sir Paul McCartney and "his three girlfriends" on GMTV, saying:

"I wish all the girls the best of luck. Better them than me."

"99 per cent positive - I've always wanted to live here but I've always said that I can't live here because I want to keep my daughter near her father," she added.

After the contest Mills attempted to shrug off the heckling:

"I really enjoyed myself. It was a great contest. If there was some negative reaction, what can you do? There will always be some people like that." She said.

Mills was on a panel of ten judges on Donald Trump's Miss U.S.A beauty contest.

She is staying at the five-star Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, where rooms cost up to £5,000 a night, courtesy of the programme.

A spokesman for Miss USA refused to comment on the booing. He added: "We were pleased to have Heather participate on our panel."
