Heather Mills fearlessly mixes her Old and New Testament references

Delightfully confirming the old adage, "You just can't keep a good woman down", Heather Mills McCartney-as-was was in delightful form on GMTV this morning, fearlessly fighting her noble corner in the name of truth, honour and cash, sorry, I mean feminism.

Anyway, so many lessons learned this morning, and all before 9am! Almost overwhelming, really. Almost.

The former "top 10 public speaker in Europe" was in splendid form. In a tactical move apparently lifted from Gossip Girl she wished her ex-husband and his "three girlfriends" the "best of luck, better than me." She then launched into her usual heartstring strengthening usual list of woes and, displaying a nigh on Wordsworthian talent for analogies, described her fight for £125million of her ex-husband's money as a fight akin to "David versus Goliath."

Sadly, she did not have time to counter the claim recently made in The Sun: the week she complained that her husband's measly alimony money would condemn their daughter Bea to a "B Class" (Bea, B - you see what she did there?) life, she was then inconveniently spotted by the tabloid flying first class to America while shoving Bea back in economy.

She did, however, have plenty of time to laud her timelessly elegant response to receiving a mere £25million at the end of the case - dumping a jug of water over her exhusband's lawyer's head. "I cleansed and baptised her," murmured this modern day prophet. "I thought it did her a world of good and now I'm getting lots of offers to restyle the hair of women of her age."

Sadly, Heather is currently engaged States-side, judging the Miss USA pageant for TV. But I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we all look forward to Heather spreading her styling talents among women of all ages as soon as possible. But how will she find the time to squeeze in her future commissions for Vogue between all those public speaking engagements?
