Heather Mills 'spotted training for DOI'

Heather Mills has been pictured practising her skating skills following rumours that she is to appear on Dancing On Ice.

The ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney was spotted learning how to skate with an instructor at a rink close to her home in East Sussex.

According to the Daily Mail, Mills was able to perform some moves on the ice within a few minutes and appeared to be pleased by her speedy progress.

Mills was tipped to compete on the ITV1 show last month. Yesterday, reports stated that she would be the highest-paid celebrity on the new series.

A source has now said: "Heather is a big fan of Dancing On Ice and she would be thrilled and delighted to take part. She will tackle it in the normal way, with hard work and determination."

The former model lost her left leg after being hit by a police motorbike in 1993.
