Adam Rickitt has played an important role in rescuing a wedding in Italy.
Adam Rickitt helped a groom nursing a broken ankle to attend his wedding in Italy.
The Coronation Street star and his wife Katy have been praised for helping the groom to attend his own wedding in Sicily.
Adam and Katy posted on social media: "On Tuesday 30th June we flew out with @jet2pics . .on our way to #CataniaAirport we hit the worst turbulence I've ever experienced.
"A lovely guy called #Brendan got bounced around like a ragdoll and dislocated and broke his ankle in 2 places.
"He was an utter hero...all he cared about was the fact he was getting #married in #Taormina tomorrow and he had ruined it for his love.
"Cannot explain how brave he wasand how much he loved his fiancé. Have spent 3 days trying to find out how he is and that they are ok for tomorrow. Can anyone put us in touch?! @jet2pics #Brendan. (sic)"
Social media followers then helped to connect Adam and Katy with Amy, Brendan's now-wife.
Amy thanked the couple for helping Brendan through his crisis.
She said: "Adam and Katy - it’s Amy, Brendans wife to be (Brendan doesn’t have insta) thank you both so much for sharing this video and for being so kind and caring and for helping Brendan on the plane.
"We can’t thank you enough. Brendan is a complete warrior - he broke the ankle in three places and dislocated it and needs an operation, we need to wait for swelling to go down and he will be getting his operation when we land in the UK next week.
"We have changed our flights home and cancelled the honeymoon so we will be flying back Tuesday.
"We are both at our beautiful wedding villa today getting ready and he is smiling in his wheelchair! He’s had a cast put on and he has all of his medication to help power him through.
"I’m so proud of his strength and so proud to be marrying him today. The wedding is going ahead [heart emoji] PS Brendan wants to FaceTime you both later at the wedding! I will private message you his number xx (sic)"
