Heather Mills, the former wife of Sir Paul McCartney, sustained injuries in a skiing mishap during a trip to Austria. The 57-year-old, who is both a mother and a Paralympic skier, was in the Hinterglemm region when the incident occurred. Despite the setback, Heather, a prominent vegan advocate, remained positive after breaking her prosthetic leg brace on the slopes, describing herself as fortunate that the damage was limited to her brace.
In an Instagram post, Heather, who lost part of her left leg in a previous accident, shared a photo of herself on crutches in a vibrant orange ski outfit, expressing gratitude that the mishap did not result in any serious injuries. According to a spokesperson, Heather will need to use crutches for about five days until the swelling in her residual limb subsides, following the incident on the final day of her ski trip.
The spokesperson mentioned that the leg brace detached due to excessive speed on an empty slope, causing Heather to fall. Fortunately, no major injuries were sustained, but Heather will require a visit to a prosthetic clinic to repair the brace. Despite the inconvenience, Heather remained thankful that the incident occurred at the end of her vacation.
Heather, a decorated British adaptive skier who competed from 2010 to 2013, celebrated Christmas with her partner, Mike Dickman, a 39-year-old film producer and actor. The couple, who were first linked in 2019 after meeting on a train, have been seen together at various public events, including the premiere of The Flying Dutchman in Vienna.
During an interview on ITV’s Lorraine show, Heather advised individuals to engage in face-to-face conversations instead of relying solely on dating apps for social interaction. She emphasized the value of personal connections and shared her own experience of meeting her partner in a non-digital setting.
