SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY's estranged wife HEATHER MILLS' forthcoming appearance on US TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS has angered a disabled group in her native Britain, who claim her ability to dance means she is able-bodied.

Mills wears prosthetic limb after losing her left leg below the knee following a 1993 road accident in London.

After the charity campaigner confirmed she would be a contestant on the show next month (MAR07), the Federation Of Disabled People claim she has no right to use the blue disabled badge on her Mercedes car, which gives users priority parking in public places and in car parks.

The Federation's spokesperson KATHY GORDON says, "Clearly she has mobility so she should refrain from using the badge. It's not fair on other disable people."
