Mills surprised by 'Dancing' support

Heather Mills has said she is surprised by the impact she is making on Dancing With The Stars.

The competitor has reached the second round of the US reality show after impressing judges with a back flip.

Mills, who has one false leg, is taking part to dispel myths about the disabled, and said she was having a bigger affect than she had realised.

“I wanted to show what I could do, to take the stigma away from the disability," she explained. “But I’m touching people I didn’t expect to touch.”

And, of her flip on Monday, she added: “I’m lucky it paid off.”
