Paris Hilton joked about doing her community service in heels

The reality TV star made headlines this week when she showed up wearing tight black pants and high heels to clean up graffiti in Los Angeles as part of her punishment from an arrest in Las Vegas in August.

Appearing on US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, she joked about the incident.

She told the host : 'They are my painter's heels. To do it in heels… I should actually get more hours for that.'

Later in the show, the pet-lover stayed on the sofa as expert Dave Salmoni, from TV channel Animal Planet, brought a series of cuddly and bizarre animals.

Athough she enjoyed cuddling a giant bunny and a baby leopard, she had a less pleasant time with a bearded pig - who slobbered on her hand as she tried to feed it.

Repeatedly shouting 'eugh!' she recoiled back in the sofa, wiping her hand with some tissues before cleaning her ankle.

She was then freaked out by a venomous snake, jumping back on the sofa as Salmoni got it out of a container.

'Get it away from me,' she shouted.
