Heather Mills- DisAbled Dancing On Ice Contestant
Disability Bitch at BBC Ouch keeps a weekly watch on Heather Mills, but I always wondered why. I was surprised recently, when a friend told me that Heather Mills is an amputee.
So now that the new series of the BBC ice skating competition, Dancing On Ice, has started, with Heather Mills participating, I can’t let it pass without a blog post, even though I won’t be watching the programme myself.
I’ve just read on Ouch that on yesterday’s show Heather Mills’ dance partner said that she “has taken DISability and changed it into Ability.” I’m sure this is true, as it is what all disabled sportspeople and challengers do, in my opinion. I am also very pleased and proud to see an able-bodied person speaking my language!
I wish Heather Mills and her dance partner all the best for the competition, and I will be very happy if they win.
Same Difference 
Heather Mills is a controversial character. I know some feel that she spoke about her disability too much on the show. But it is her life, and I supported the fact that she was trying to get the word out there and encourage others to get active. http://inspiremagazineuk.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/heather-mills-on-dancing-on-ice/
