Heather Mills dons overalls to paint the walls of her new vegan restaurant

An animal rights activist, charity campaigner and advocate for amputees, Heather Mills has rarely shied away from hard work.
The former model abandoned her glamorous background again today to put on overalls and a cap to paint and scrub the newly whitewashed walls of her vegan cafe V-Bites in Brighton.
A small army of friends and Heather's young daughter Beatrice helped out on the renovations, but the 41-year-old appeared to be doing the bulk of the work as she rushed around with pots of paint, brushes and rollers.

She is hoping the cafe will open next month, and plans to cook on Sundays, serving up her specialty of roast - but of course minus the beef.
The animal rights campaigner is a vegan - someone who's strictly against eating any animal or dairy products - and has established a range of vegetarian food products which still bear her name.
Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife, who clinched £24million in the divorce, bought the former Big Fish Cafe for £140,000 earlier this year.

Heather is determined to change people's perceptions of vegan food.
'They just think that it's boring nut roasts and lots of hippy people who they think haven't washed for months but they do, but that's not what being vegan is about,' she told an audience at last month's Brighton Foodies Festival in East Sussex.
'It's about being animal friendly, saving the environment and the planet. The biggest contributor of global warming is the consumption of meat and dairy, but of course they are not going to tell you that.'

Heather cooked dishes such as a leafy green and beefy stir fry (no beef, soy bean patty instead) and creamy sweetcorn chowder.
Sir Paul divorced Healther in a high profile court hearing last year after the couple married in 2002.

Yes, the definition of glamorous...
