Hobbling Amanda Holden sports crutches and leg brace as she attends star-studded wedding

Poor Amanda Holden has been forced to attend a wedding on crutches with a huge leg brace.

She broke her fibula in two places after a gruesome injury on holiday which saw her swim back to shore using one leg.

She is now spending some of her time in a wheelchair, and the rest of the time she hobbles around on crutches.

Despite having to wear a trainer on the other foot, Amanda, 48, still looked as glamorous as ever in a pink belted shift dress with wide pleated sleeves.

Amanda has explained what happened in the freak incident, which took place on the first day of her holiday.

She joined her daughter Hollie on an inflatable Total Wipeout-style assault course in the sea, when she fell while "showing off" to her husband, Chris Hughes.

Her leg snapped in two places and she was rescued and helped back to shore, before being rushed to hospital.

But she looked in good spirits at the wedding, which was that of Masterchef judge John Torode and Holby City actress Lisa Faulkner, also a TV chef.

They tied the knot in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and were joined by former Coronation Street actor Charlie Condou and Tamzin Outhwaite from EastEnders.

The stunning wedding included a tower of espresso and porn star martinis, hundreds of white and gold balloons, and a huge giraffe statue.

Corrie actress Angela Griffith also attended, along with actor Owain Arthur.

The couple got engaged last Christmas, with Lisa announcing on Instagram : "My gorgeous John completely surprised me on Christmas Day and asked me to marry him!”

“I feel blessed I’ve got a second chance with a lovely man.”

Meanwhile, John posted a photo with the sparkler, captioned: “And she said YES!! Bloody love my Lisa... Have put a ring on it.”

The couple met on Celebrity MasterChef in 2010.
