Heather Mills is reportedly going to take part in the next series of Dancing on Ice. Paul McCartney's ex-wife is said to have already teamed up with a professional skater ahead of official rehearsals for the ITV1 show later this year. A show insider told The Sun: "Heather has often been linked with Dancing On Ice but this year she's finally decided to do it. "She has been speaking to ITV and is really excited about the show. In typical Heather fashion, she is convinced she'll be a huge attraction. "She knows she divides people but there's never a dull moment with her. Whatever people say about her, she's certainly entertaining." Heather went down a storm over in the US when she took part in Dancing With The Stars, their version of Strictly Come Dancing. Ex-England goalkeeper Peter Shilton and 80s pop star Sinitta are also reported to be in training for the show, which begins early next year. Hosted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, the new series will see some changes including a prime-time Friday night programme showing the celebrities preparing for Sunday's live show. And show bosses are also believed to be looking for a replacement for judge Ruthie Henshall.
