Heather Mills has been accused of breaking a promise to provide new artificial legs for a young mother.

Heather Mills accused of breaking a promise

The former wife of Sir Paul McCartney first met Maria Rybkina, who was left disabled following a train accident, at her flat in Moscow four years ago. After hearing the 28-year-old's story, she pledged £10,000 to help - but it is claimed that she never handed over the cash, despite repeated promises to do so, Digital Spy reports.

"Heather said she would personally get Maria some really good artificial legs, which would cost around £5,000, and cosmesis - the silicone cosmetic covering - which would be another £5,000," Robin told the News of the World. "She promised she would also provide all the medical support needed to get her walking again."

"Heather rang us and emailed us repeatedly with promises to pay for Maria's legs. But every single promise she made fell flat. In the end, she never did anything at all."
