They Might Be Curly Giants!

You would have thought with all the money she’s siphoned off Paul McCartney, £10,000 for a pair of prosthetic limbs for an amputee is peanuts, but it seems Heather Mills has broken her promise to the Russian woman and she only got help from a kind-hearted British couple who raised money themselves through donations including £2,000 of their own money.

Mucca, who has an artificial leg herself, tenderly told the star-struck 28-year-old: "I will help buy you legs like mine. I will help you walk again."

But once she had basked in the glow of the photo opportunity, she IGNORED pleas about the increasingly pitiful plight of Maria—who was being forced to BEG on the streets of Moscow.

Former porn model Mucca just made yet more empty promises—despite claiming in her recent divorce case that she needed £627,000 a year for "charitable work".

And Maria is only now able to walk again because of the determination and fund-raising of British couple Robin and Inna Barratt, who befriended her. Robin revealed: "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." Yet when Mucca met Maria in her Moscow flat four years ago it seemed a dream come true for the pretty Russian mum who lost both legs after falling from a train when she was five.
