Heather Mills McCartney is making sure her artificial leg stays put when she competes on US show Dancing With the Stars.

The estranged wife of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, whose left leg was amputated below the knee after a motorbike accident in 1993, says she will be wearing a special strap to keep the prosthetic limb in place.

She said: "It's very unlikely my leg is going to fly off, although it would be quite funny."
