SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY - MCCARTNEY CONFIRMS DANCING WITH THE STARS APPEARANCE

LATEST: SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY's estranged wife HEATHER MILLS has confirmed she will appear on TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS - despite denying any involvement with the show earlier this month (FEB07). Mills will take to the ice alongside singer BILLY RAY CYRUS and former N'SYNC star JOEY FATONE, and will be the first contestant to dance with an artificial limb. Her spokesperson hopes the experience will help distract Mills from her split from the former BEATLE in May last year (06). PHIL HALL, Mills' spokesperson, says, "It's something that might take her mind off some of the difficulties she's been having. "She's doing it because she loves dancing, always has, enjoys a challenge and sees this as a combination of both." Hall adds Mills' participation is "nothing to do with the money", adding, "It's just to do with he challenge and fun of it." The show begins on 19 March (07) in the US.
