Amanda Abbington has worried fans with a hospital picture next to her fiance Jonathan Goodwin. The Strictly Come Dancing star, 52, took a selfie with former stuntman fiance Jonathan.
She put on a huge smile for the camera while she cuddled up to the Britain's Got Talent star. Sherlock actress Amanda wrote: "The bravest dude I know. More spinal surgery. We're used to hospital rooms."
She added a hands praying emojis, fingers crossed, and hearts to the post. Jonathan and Amanda knew each other online for ten years before they met in real life. Jonathan was previously married and shares a daughter together with his ex, reports the Mirror.
According to reports, he and Amanda didn't meet up until after her marriage to actor Martin Freeman, 52, ended in 2016 and they were engaged soon after. But tragedy hit a year later as Jonathan got badly injured whilst doing a stunt on the now defunct TV show America's Got Talent: Extreme.
Jonathan suffered a dislocated spinal cord, which has left him a paraplegic, internal organ injuries, including losing his left kidney, fractures to his legs, ribs, and shoulders, as well as third-degree burns. Jonathan even told Amanda she could leave him if she wanted, but she said no.
The former stuntman had once said: "I said you have a get out of jail free card, if you want to walk away I understand and she told me not to be so stupid."
Amanda spoke about Jonathan's strength on ITV's Lorraine, saying: "He's amazing, he makes me smile. I love him to bits, he's going from strength to strength. I forget he's in a wheelchair; he's independent and strong. He's genuinely my hero, I don't know what I'd do without him. He's so supportive and gorgeous. Wedding in summer it's happening."
