Heather Mills: It's unlikely my leg will fly off on Dancing

Paul's ex reckons her prosthetic limb will stay on during show

Heather Mills has mentioned the unmentionable when it comes to her upcoming stint on the fourth edition of Dancing With the Stars.

Addressing the question of whether her prosthetic leg might come off while she's competing, Mills – who was struck by a police motorcycle in 1993, which necessitated the amputation of her left leg below the knee – tells TV's Extra, "I'm quite happy to be thrown around and hopefully my leg will stay on."

To put fears to rest, however, she adds, "It's very unlikely my leg is going to fly off, although it would be quite funny. I'll have a strap on which I wouldn't normally in every day life."

With a laugh, she also says of dancing partner Jonathan Roberts, "I don't want to let Jonathan down or give anyone in the audience a heart attack."

Still the estranged wife of Paul McCartney says of the upcoming experience, "To be honest, in my mad crazy life it's actually going to be great fun ... like a holiday!"

Further about Roberts, Mills says that the two are not dating, despite tabloid rumors to the contrary. "If anybody does they are just completely stupid," says Mills. "He's a happily married man."

Modesty, if not age, may also keep her from donning those revealing DWTS outfits: "Now I'm hitting 40, I think I'll keep my tummy covered." But when she does encounter criticism from the show's judges, Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, Mills says she'll "probably just let it wash over me – it's nothing personal ... if I cry, don't worry about me!"

Girding herself for what's ahead, Mills admits, "I've got no dancing background and with my leg I can't push it. ... I love to dance in the disco, but that's about it. Natural rhythm is coming in handy."
