Welsh Britain's Got Talent star Jonathan Goodwin has said he was left on a plane for nearly two hours after staff failed to deliver his wheelchair to him. The Pembrokeshire escapologist was responding to a story about BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner, also a wheelchair user, who said he was left on a plane after everyone else had disembarked while he waited for his chair.
The 2019 Britain's Got Talent contestant and 2020 America's Got Talent semi-finalist was left paralysed by a stunt that went wrong during his rehearsal on America's Got Talent: Extreme in October. His fiancée Amanda Abbington - the Sherlock actress - said 42-year-old Goodwin was crushed between two suspended cars after they had caught fire, suffering a catalogue of injuries including a severed spinal cord and third-degree burns.
Tweeting to share Mr Gardner's story this week, Mr Goodwin said he'd also been left frustrated after being left on a plane for an hour and a half because no staff brought him his wheelchair. You can get more west Wales news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
