Amanda Holden has shared an Instagram picture of her leg in plaster after breaking it in two places while playing on an inflatable assault course during family holiday.
The Heart Radio presenter, 48, was larking around during a half-term beach break in Europe last week when disaster struck.
The BGT host had to undergo emergency surgery and have a metal plate fitted after it was revealed that she had snapped her fibula in two places.

Amanda told MailOnline: ‘Sadly this is true. 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.
‘I had an operation on Friday and a metal plate was fitted.’

The Sun wrote about the incident and said: ‘She needed an emergency operation to have a metal plate fitted.
‘The star was playing in the sea off a beach in Europe with her daughters. She slipped and snapped her fibula in two places.’
Amanda reportedly landed a £3million contract to host the Heart Radio Breakfast Show.
But it was her youngest daughter Hollie, who stole the show when she interviewed Hollywood A-listers Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning recently.
Amanda said she was ‘worried for her job’ as Hollie made her interview debut with the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil stars.
The presenter shared a sweet group snap of herself and Hollie posing with Angelina, 44, and Elle, 21, that she captioned: ‘I’m worried for my job!! [Hollie]is a natural!’

Amanda said to the actresses: ‘The film is very much about family and how we don’t have to kind of be built in the same way in order to be united and again, I just think this film is so full of amazing positive messages for younger people.
‘How important is it for you to play roles that kind of, and not in a sort of heavy way, but kind of really gently give a lovely message to young people?’
Angelina responded: ‘Oh absolutely, especially when you know that a large part of the audience are young.
‘I think usually it’s the adults that need to be reminded of these messages because you guys kind of already know, but it’s really important to strengthen these messages for the young.’
Discussing her six children – of which three are adopted – she added: ‘And the message that family’s not just blood you know. Half of my children are not my blood and they are absolutely my family and my children and I love them so much.’

Amanda’s accident comes after she recently had an online spat with a tile company.
A furious Amanda took to Twitter to deny she’s a ‘princess’ after engaging in a spat with a tile company called Appleby’s tiles.
The radio host hit back after a representative for the company called Jack, who accused her of using her ‘celebrity status’ to get ‘special treatment’ after she asked for a refund when she was sent an incorrect box of tiles
Amanda explained that she would now be out of pocket as she already had tilers on site which she had to pay, but Appleby’s tiles refused to give her the tiles for free by way of compensation.
They wrote to her: ‘Unfortunately that is not how it works. We will not be refunding your order however, we can refund your shipping fees.
‘Alternatively, we can refund your whole order for you and not send these out.
‘Unfortunately we do not make exceptions for ‘celebrity’ status and all of our customers are treated the same as per our terms and conditions. We will happily refund you your shipping for the inconvenience.’
MailOnline has seen the full transcript between Amanda and Appleby’s tiles (sent by Appleby’s) and it’s clear that Amanda does not use her celebrity status to get special treatment.
A spokesperson for Amanda told MailOnline: ‘She just wanted to return them and have the correct ones sent.’
Calling them out: Amanda shared some of the exchange on Twitter – MailOnline has read the full transcript and at no point did she use her celebrity status to get special treatment
Ouch! A representative called Jack accused her of using her status to get the free tiles, but Amanda didn’t see why she should pay for the company’s mistake. Appleby’s tiles say customers should not book in builders until their tiles have been received
