Heather Mills' blistering dance

Mar 8, 2007, 8:00 GMT

Heather Mills is suffering from blisters on her partly-amputated leg following intense training for 'Dancing with the Stars'.

Heather, the estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney, is a contestant in the US TV talent show and the gruelling training sessions have caused blisters on her amputated limb.

A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "Heather has been through hell recently and it's great for her to focus on something other than her daughter and the divorce.

"But the show's rehearsals have left her in a lot of pain.

"The sores are especially bad where her leg joins her prosthetic limb, but she's determined not to give up."

Heather - who wears a prosthetic limb after losing her left leg below the knee following a road accident in 1993 - recently joked about the implications of dancing with a fake leg.

She said: "I'm quite happy to be thrown around. It's unlikely my leg is going to fly off, although it would be quite funny. I don't want to give anyone in the audience a heart attack."
