Bets on Heather's Leg

An online gambling website is offering bets on whether Heather Mills' prosthetic leg will fall off during America's Dancing With The Stars TV show.

The site Bodog.com has invited punters to lay money on the estranged wife of Beatles bassist Sir Paul McCartney having such a mishap.

Mills lost her leg in a 1993 traffic accident.

The website, based in Antigua, made a 'No' outcome the heavy favourite.

It said the ex-model's leg "must fall off, not be purposely taken off, during a dance routine for all 'Yes' wagers to be graded a win".

The TV show involves couples - a star and a professional dancer - competing in a variety of ballroom performances.

Its fourth season in the US is scheduled to begin on March 19, with a line-up of 11 celebrities.

Mills told celebrity TV show Extra that she wanted to show people that "even with a prosthetic leg you can dance".

She said: "It's very unlikely my leg's going to fly off even though it would be quite funny to knock one of the judges out."
