But Jonathan is so strong.“He's a proper inspiration. He's never once moaned about it.”“He's sometimes nostalgic about what he did but at the same time it's like, 'This is the next chapter of my life now.’“A lot of people I know asked me, "Are you staying with him?" I was like, "Yeah of course."She continued: “I can't imagine life without him.

We have too much fun. He makes me laugh like no one else.“None of it has felt insurmountable, not even his accident.”The stunt ace, who appeared in the 2019 season of Britain's Got Talent, now uses a wheelchair.He was supposed to escape a straightjacket while upside down 30ft in the air in between two suspended cars during rehearsals for America's Got Talent.Instead, Jonathan became crushed between them as they caught on fire.Amanda told Jay Rayner's Out To Lunch podcast earlier this month: "He fell 30ft and lost a kidney, broke both shoulder blades, shattered both legs."Third-degree burns, broke his spine and severed his spinal cord and nearly died.

And then on the operating table, he nearly died again."Amanda and the BGT star became friends after realising they were both single following their split with previous partners.The actress, who was previously married to Martin Freeman, said they would sometimes.
