Heather Mills has reportedly signed to appear on ‘Dancing On Ice’.

Heather Mills has reportedly signed to appear on ‘Dancing On Ice’.

The disabled ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney is rumoured to be in line for a six-figure sum for appearing on the ITV celebrity ice-skating competition.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Heather has often been linked with ‘Dancing On Ice’ but this year she's finally decided to do it. She has been speaking to ITV and is really excited about the show."

Heather – who was left with one leg after a motorcycle crash in 1993 – will also reportedly receive £10,000 “danger money” for extra prosthetic legs and top-of-the-range boots when she competes in the competition.

The 41-year-old is now thought to be training with a professional skater to get the edge over other contestants.

Heather has previous experience of dancing shows, appearing in the 2007 edition of US programme ‘Dancing With The Stars’ where, despite her disability, she wowed judges with moves including a backflip.

Heather was voted off the show after six weeks and donated her appearance fee to animal rights charity Viva!

‘Dancing On Ice’ will return to ITV in January. No contestants have yet been confirmed for the show.
