Amanda Holden breaks leg: Star posts picture on Instagram

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has broken her leg in two places following an accident during a family holiday.

She published a photo of herself wearing a plaster cast on Instagram on Tuesday morning.

The accident happened when the judge was taking on an inflatable assault course.

She had to have an operation to have a metal plate fitted to help her leg to heal.

"Sadly this is true," said Amanda. "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."

A spokesperson for Amanda said it would be "business as usual" for the star, despite her injury.

Celebrities have been posting their support for Amanda underneath her picture.

" I'll wheel you around the office on Monday. Sending love ♥️" said former Strictly finalist Ashley Roberts, while Peter Andre sent her wishes to "Get well soon 😘".

Interior design guru Kelly Hoppen said: "I'll decorate it for you Saturday 😂 still looking stylish as ever ❤️"
