Heather Mills, the former wife of Sir Paul McCartney, has been lined up to appear in Channel 4's daredevil winter sports show The Jump.
Mills - who was divorced from The Beatles star in 2008 - is an experienced skier and has competed for Britain, winning a World Cup silver medal.
The former model, who lost a leg after she was hit by a police motorbike two decades ago, missed out on being considered for the Paralympic team for Sochi after a row about the type of specially adapted boot she wished to use.
The line-up for The Jump will be officially announced at a later date but it is understood she is to take part in the second series of the show.
Competitors will also include Mike Tindall, the husband of Zara Phillips.
The thrills and spills show features events such as speed skating, bobsleigh, slalom skiing and each programme concludes with two competitors taking part in a ski jump to decide who is eliminated.
The first series of The Jump was won by 2009 X Factor winner Joe McElderry. It was marked by a series of injuries among contestants with socialite Henry Conway breaking a bone in his hand and Melinda Messenger withdrawing as a result of concussion suffered on the bobsleigh track.
Two of the finalists, Sir Steve Redgrave and comedian Marcus Brigstocke, were also unable to complete the finale after they too were hurt.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
