Amanda Holden is recovering after breaking her leg whilst on holiday with her family.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge broke her fibula in two places when she lost her footing as she tackled a Total Wipeout-style inflatable assault course in the sea in Europe.
The star was rushed to hospital for an emergency operation that involved having a metal plate fitted to the broken bone.The 48-year-old was with her husband Chris and two daughters, Alexa, 13 and Hollie, seven, at the time of the accident.
She said: “Sadly this is true. I suffered a nasty accident while playing in the sea with the family during our half-term holiday and subsequently broke my leg in two places.
“I had an operation on Friday and a metal plate was fitted.”
Despite the surgery, Mandy will be back hosting her Heart FM breakfast show next Monday, albeit with the aid of crutches.Amanda’s not had a lot of luck lately.
Earlier this month she was at the centre of a very public row with a tile company after a mix-up with her order.
The star said she was “so cross” after initially being told she would still have to pay for a delivery of the wrong tiles.
Screengrabs of online messages showed a member of customer service staff named ‘Jack’, stating that they “do not make exceptions for ‘celebrity’ status” and treat all customers the “same”.
After the messages went public, a rep for Appleby Tiles confirmed that Amanda had been “fully refunded within one hour of the issue arising” and also confirmed they had sacked the member of staff in question.READ MORE: Amanda Holden Just Farted Live On Air During Her Heart Breakfast Show And The Rest Of The Day Is Cancelled Amanda Holden's Daughter Reveals The One Thing Her Mum Does That Embarrasses Her The Most Amanda Holden Completes The Most Glamorous Skydive Of All Time
