Prosecutors state Miss Kane was detained against her will and was assaulted by Mills.
The allegations include presenting a knife at her, seizing her by the body, pushing her against a wall and threatening her.
It is stated that the alleged offence was to Miss Kane’s injury.
Mills faces a second charge of breaching bail conditions.
Mills, who did not attend court, pleaded not guilty through his lawyer Michael Gallen today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the two charges.
A further hearing was set for February by Sheriff Ian Fleming who granted bail for Mills, of Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, meantime.
