Heather Mills has had an accident while skiing in southern Austria, resulting in her being admitted to hospital with a serious shoulder injury.

The ex-wife of Paul McCartney reportedly crashed on the Moelltaler glacier on Wednesday, and was taken by helicopter to a hospital in the town of Lienz.

A spokesman for the hospital, Alfred Fast, said Mills has a fractured right shoulder blade, and while in pain is expected to make a full recovery.

She needs rest and has now been released from hospital, he added.

Mills, a former model, married ex-Beatle McCartney in 2002. They divorced in 2008.
