Heather Mills' reality show plans
Heather Mills has revealed she is planning a reality TV show in which celebrities will live with a disability for a week.

The former Dancing On Ice contestant - who lost her left leg below the knee after a collision with a motorcycle in 1993 - said:

"We've got a TV project in the pipeline which is challenging people's perception of disability, so if you think, 'Oh well it's not that difficult living with one leg, or living in a wheelchair, or being partially sighted or deaf dumb or blind' then try it for a week."

She added: "We might put celebrities in that position and see how they cope - if it's Gordon Ramsay, shove him in a kitchen and see if he can cook for the restaurant if he's blind folded and have him live like that for a week."

The ex-wife of Beatle Sir Paul McCartney insisted she did not take part in the show to change her public image, but was pleased with the result.

Heather said: "I didn't go on for that reason. It's been wonderful that everything's been so positive.

"I never saw anything from the public that was negative. What people were saying behind closed doors and not to me, yes that possibly was going on.

"But this show for me, to not be the first out, also renewed my confidence in people not to have tunnel vision, really having open minds to see people for who they truly are. So that is the added bonus."
