Amanda Abbington in tears as paralysed Britain's Got Talent star fiancé recalls telling her she 'could leave' him

Amanda Abbington was reduced to tears as her fiancé recalled telling her 'she could leave' after suffering a life-changing accident. The Sherlock actress appeared on Lorraine alongside Jonathan Goodwin in his first TV interview since being left paralysed.

Earlier this week it was revealed that Britain's Got Talent escapologist Jonathan almost died twice after a stunt went disastrously wrong. Daredevil Jonathan, who was in the final of ITV talent show in 2019, is now in a wheelchair after rehearsing for the show America's Got Talent: Extreme.

The 42-year-old was left in a critical condition after plunging 30ft to the ground during a suspension stunt at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia. The horror accident happened in October last year when Jonathan was performing a stunt in which he would hang upside down 30ft in the air between two suspended cars and escape from a straitjacket.
