London, Jan 6 (ANI): Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills has fractured her rib and damaged shoulder during ‘Dancing on Ice’ practice sessions.

However, the former glamour model refuses to let her injuries discourage her and is in rigorous rehearsals for the reality TV contest.

“I’ve snapped off my rib doing a lift, I had eight lessons and was flat on my back for 10 days after a fall, and I nearly had to drop out,” the Daily Express quoted Mills as saying.

“I fractured a rib, tore my rotator cuff, then shifted out my pelvis. There is not much left to break… My doctor thought it was ridiculous and said: ‘I think you should pull out,’” she added.

The 41-year-old says she’s determined to participate in the show - as long as her injuries aren’t too serious.

“I woke up and thought, ‘I’m doing this for charity,’ and I saw my boots and sparkly catsuits and thought, ‘I’ve got to do this’. If I puncture a lung I guess I will have to give up,” she added. (ANI)
