Heather Mills is reportedly set to pocket $4.3 million to promote vegetarian food for fast food chain Burger King.

The former glamor model – who is divorced from Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney – has agreed to launch a new meat-free burger at the company’s 11,350 outlets throughout the world.

A source tells British newspaper The People, “No-one can deny Heather’s commitment to the vegan cause.

“Sir Paul will probably see a certain sense of irony in Heather’s career move.

“But he won’t be fuming. If more people become vegetarian as a result of this, then some good will come out of it.

“Heather is ecstatic. She believes she can change the eating habits of millions.

“She’s also being paid a lot of money and the deal will help boost her standing.”

Heather – who last week invested in a seaside cafe which she plans to turn into a vegetarian eatery – apparently landed the deal after she gave $1 million worth of free veggie burgers to poor kids in New York last year.
