Heather Mills has never been one to back down from a fight, but these days, the former model and activist is facing a challenge she didn’t anticipate.
Speaking at a vegan food event in London’s East End, she opened up about her struggle with VBites, the plant-based company she founded.
“We’ve had a really difficult time,” Mills admitted. “Irish travellers trashed two of our three factories, three times in the last 18 months – it is a nightmare.”
Though she did not provide specifics about the damage, Mills stressed her commitment to the vegan movement, which inspired her to create the business.
Her vision was to turn County Durham into a hub for plant-based innovation, calling it her own “Silicon Valley of vegan food.”
After VBites went into administration in 2023, Mills personally invested in a rescue effort last year, even forgoing nearly £5 million owed to her to keep the company afloat.
“Veganism changes people’s lives,” she said. “I never took a penny from vegan businesses.
The money goes to charities I support around the world.”
Life Beyond Business: Heather’s Personal Journey
At 57, Mills has not let personal setbacks slow her down.
After losing her left leg below the knee, she took up competitive skiing, eventually earning a Guinness World Record as the fastest disabled female skier.
She is now in a relationship with Mick Dickman, 39, affectionately described by Mills as a “toyboy” who has embraced veganism.
Mills emphasized the couple share not just personal life, but a commitment to plant-based living.

Fashion experts have compared Diana’s choice to the dark, commanding swan Odile from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, highlighting a message of assertive strength through visual storytelling.
Royal Smiles Behind the Scenes
