Heather Mills joins 'Dancing With The Stars'

Heather Mills will be a contestant on US TV show Dancing With The Stars, it was announced today.

The estranged wife of Paul McCartney, who lost her left leg in an accident 14 years ago, will compete on the American version of Strictly Come Dancing from next month.

Mills’ appearance on the hugely popular ABC show comes during her bitter divorce battle with the former Beatle.

The one-time model, 38, and McCartney, 64, announced in May that they were ending their four-year marriage.

Chat show host and previous Dancing With The Stars contestant Jerry Springer announced she would be taking part on ABC’s Good Morning America.
