Reuters is reporting that an online gambling site is booking odds and taking bets on whether Heather Mills' artificial leg will stay attached to her (or not) during her upcoming stint on "Dancing with the Stars."
Mills, 39, is closing the chapter on her marriage to Sir Paul McCartney, and lost her left leg below the knee in a traffic accident back in 1993.
The ABC television show has never had a celebrity compete with an artificial limb.
Now an off-shore Antigua-based gaming site opened bets on whether her prosthetic leg would come off during a dance routine.
The caveat to bet on this occurence is that Mills' leg "must fall off, not be purposely taken off, during a dance routine for all Yes wagers to be graded a win."
Mills, a former model, has been upfront about her unique challenge. "It's very very unlikely my leg's going to fly off even though it would be quite funny to knock one of the judges out," she told TV show Extra.
"I'm hoping to show people that even with a prosthetic leg you can dance," Mills said. Mills will be paired with professional dancer Jonathan Roberts on the dance contest show.
