Have your say on her rumoured Dancing On Ice appearance here

Heather MillsHeather Mills is no stranger to arguments with the press, but we think this may be her biggest feud yet.

She's angrily taken to her Twitter blog after Daily Mail columnist Amanda Platell accused her of using her prosthetic leg for sympathy. Heather, believed to be in training for a role on Dancing On Ice, was pictured skating last week with her left trouser leg rolled up. "One question: why does she roll up one trouser leg to show her prosthetic limb, yet leaves the other leg covered?” Platell wrote. “Not still milking the sympathy vote, are we, pet?"

Needless to say, Mills wasn’t pleased with the comments. "Amanda Platell is why women are given a bad name. Ignorant and lazy journalist Amanda Platell slates me for trying to skate with one limb,” Heather tweeted. "She said I kept my trouser leg rolled up to show off my prosthetic, UNTRUE. It was rolled up so Bob Watts the prosthetist 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?"
