Dancing On Ice contestant Heather Mills has hit out at a columnist for suggesting she was “milking the sympathy vote” by revealing her prosthetic leg.
Heather, 41, was recently pictured practising for the show with one trouser leg rolled up revealing her prosthetic leg.
Daily Mail columnist Amanda Platell then wrote about the incident in her column.
She said: “Heather Mills is so desperate to get on to the TV series Dancing On Ice that she has recruited a trainer and is out practising on the local ice rink.
“One question: Why does she roll up one trouser leg to show her prosthetic limb, yet leaves the other one covered? Not still milking the sympathy vote, are we pet?”
However, Heather has hit out at the journalist on her Twitter page.
She said: “Amanda Platell is why woman are given a bad name. Ignorant and lazy journalist Amanda Platell slates me for trying to skate with one limb.
“She says I kept my trouser leg rolled up to show off my prosthetic, UNTRUE, It was rolled up so Bob Watts the prosthetic could see the alignment and work out why i could not do crossovers without catching my blade and falling over.
“If the lazy woman did her homework she would understand how near impossible it is to skate with one limb to raise money for a needy charity programme.
“And she would know this was a private lesson, no cameras allowed, someone obviously sneaked a pic and she presumes the worst, how about a face to face Ms Platell?”
