Heather Mills has revealed that while she thinks her false leg is likely to stay on during her Dancing with the Stars appearances, the first time she went dancing after getting the prosthetic limb, it wasn’t quite so secure.

She said recently: “When you lose your leg, you think, `Can I do this, can I do that?’ And I didn’t have anybody to look to to teach me or let me know it was gonna be OK.”

“I went on the discofloor and of course everyone’s a bit drunk and all the lights are flashing everywhere, and I’m dancing away and I’m thinking, `Oh, this is great, I feel so free.”

“But the socket got heated up, because it’s made of silicon, and it just fell and the leg just slid along the dancefloor. Of course, half the people were drunk or off their heads onstuff, so they were completely freaking out because it was a leg that looked really real.”

“You can’t just pick it up and put it on, you’ve gotta kinda pull your trousers down and adjust it, so I kinda got my leg, put it under my arm and hopped out the disco and just fell through a fire escape (door) and hitched my skirt and trousers down and popped it back on.”
