Amanda Holden confirms when she'll return to Heart FM after horrific leg injury

Amanda Holden has confirmed when she will return to work at her HEART FM radio show.

The 48-year-old broke her leg in two places while on holiday with her family.

She was rushed to hospital and now has her leg in a cast, and her husband Chris Hughes is pushing her around in a wheelchair.

But despite the horrifying injury, Amanda will be back at work next week.

Her rep told us: "Despite this painful accident it's business as usual for Amanda and she will return to Heart Breakfast on Monday October 28."

Amanda had the accident on the first day of her holiday with husband Chris Huges and daughters Alex, 13, and Hollie, seven.

She called into the show and explained to co host Jamie Theakston what happened.

She said: "I just can't believe what's happened... on the first day here as well so I'm just totally gutted.

"Basically I was trying to be a good mother… and I said to Hollie, 'Mummy can come on that with you' and there’s this like, you remember [Total] Wipeout, that TV thing?

"There’s like a children’s Total Wipeout thing in the middle of the sea... I walked around it and then crawled across like an old person, like across the difficult bits.

"And then there were these three inflatable stepping stones in the middle of the sea and everyone else was running across it and I thought 'oh I could do that, if kids can do it I can do it' and I did it and I made it."

She continued: "I was showing off, Jamie – I made it across to the other side and then my leg slipped because obviously it's wet and it went the other way and I felt it break.

"I was rushed to hospital and I've got a metal plate and screws in my leg, which currently is the fastest and easiest way for it to heal.

"I haven't got a cast, I've got metal in my leg and a splint and it's all wrapped up and it's got a heartbeat in it."
