Amanda Abbington is engaged to former stuntman Jonathan Goodwin, who was involved in a tragic accident while filming for America's Got Talent: Extreme just months after they met
Amanda Abbington has starred in a string of TV shows such as Sherlock and Mr Selfridge and most recently swapped acting for the ballroom as she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.
Following her star-studded romance, Amanda started dating Jonathan Goodwin in 2021 after being friends for years and the pair got engaged just days later. Just a few months into their whirlwind romance, Jonathan was injured in a tragic accident which left him paralysed and in a wheelchair. But in 2021, one daredevil stunt went horrifically wrong which saw Jonathan crushed by two cars that were on fire. The tragic accident happened after he was trying to escape from a strait jacket while hanging upside down 30 feet in the air as part of the now-axed series America's Got Talent: Extreme.
"When I woke up the following morning there was a voicemail from his stunt coordinator: 'Jonathan’s had an accident. It’s not great news.'Amanda explained the seriousness of Jonathan's accident and revealed he had lost a kidney, broken both shoulder blades, shattered both legs, broken his spine and severed his spinal cord. His injuries were so awful that Jonathan called Amanda before he went down for surgery with concerns he might not make it.
