Heather Mills wants disability show

Monday, 8 February 2010

Heather Mills wants to produce her own TV show about disabilities.

The ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney - who was voted off 'Dancing On Ice' last night (07.02.10) - and her ice-skating partner Matt Evers are working on a new reality format which will teach celebrities how difficult it is to live with a disability

She told 'This Morning' presenter Eamonn Holmes: "I want to get people like you Eamonn, and get you to spend a week in a wheelchair. To see what it's like to live with a disability. You would have to be looked after and pushed around by your wife.

"We would also get a chef like Gordon Ramsay, blindfold him, and put him in the kitchen for a week."

Heather lost her left leg from the knee down after being hit by a motorcycle in 1993 and has used a prosthetic limb ever since.

As well as teaching celebrities about life with a disability, Heather is interested in doing some motivational speaking now she has left 'Dancing On Ice'.

She said: "I know people say this, but I cannot believe I wasn't first off. Just to have got where I got, and the response we had from amputees all over the country, and people with two left feet or people with figure issues. People have been saying, 'I'm going to go on a diet now, I'm going to do this,' it's just been a huge response.

"We've had lots of companies try and contact us and say, 'Can you come and do motivational workshops?' So it's not the end of me and Matt. I'm going to get him with me to come and teach them to skate."
