Celia Larkin, writing on 12 February 2012 in the Irish Sunday Independent , said of Heather Mills "Is it any wonder she was reduced to tears in the October 2007 GMTV interview? Did we feel sympathy for her then? No. 'Heather Mills has Melt Down' screamed the headlines, so now she had lost her marbles to boot. And if that wasn't enough, Carole Malone of the Sunday Mirror , one of the papers that were relentless in their attacks on Mills, accused her of staging an act on live TV in order to further her cause in the upcoming divorce hearing. How cruel can you get?" [5]
On 14 May 2012, while on ITV's This Morning , her comments implied a family were partly to blame for the deaths of six children in an arson attack as they received significant state benefits which she felt drew resentment from the local populace, describing the events as "an accident waiting to happen". ITV apologised for the comments. [6] [7]
