Corrie's Adam Rickitt and his wife Katy are praised for helping a groom who broke his ankle in 'worst turbulence ever' on flight to Sicily for his wedding

Corrie's Adam Rickitt and his wife Katy have been praised for helping a groom who broke his ankle during the 'worst turbulence ever' on a flight to Sicily for his wedding. 

Brendan broke and dislocated his ankle in three places and Katy and Adam said that all he cared about was that he might have ruined his bride's wedding day, which was being held in Taormina the next day. 

Katy, 42, and Adam, 48, took to social media to track Brendan down for an update on what happened and were thrilled when the bride, Amy Currie, got in touch with them. 

She said that the wedding did in fact go ahead, with him tying the knot while sitting in a wheelchair. 

Adam and Katy had first posted a video on social media saying: 'We need your help' after helping the man during the flight. 

They said: '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.'

Then social media worked its magic and Amy wrote to them: ' Adam & 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 ❤️ PS Brendan wants to FaceTime you both later at the wedding! I will private message you his number xx'

A delighted Adam replied: '@amycurriexx oh my God!!!! I am so sorry I just saw this!! We lost wifi...we are SO BLOODY HAPPY it happened...you are both heroes and would love to catch up...I will DM you so we can chat. Literally life made...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

'Thank you so much #Internet ...WE FOUND HIM #findbrendan #missioncomplete.    

'He is NOW MARRIED!!! He not only dislocated his ankle but broke it in THREE places! Needs surgery but like a proper hero did the wedding in a cast and a wheelchair.

'He's not on #Instagram so he won't see this but we know he WIFE will because she got in touch! so I can say it... what a bloody legend!!! 

'Destroys his ankle and all he cared about from the 1st moment was letting his fiancédown...but he didn't..please welcome the new Mr & Mrs Brendan and Amy *****.

'Cannot even begin to explain how happy this makes us...in an airport cafe we raise a plastic glass of [God knows what] to you guys!   Wishing you every bit of health, wealth and happiness.'
