Alton Towers amputee plans dream wedding after 'wretched' four years

Alton Towers crash survivor Vicky Balch reveals she has received a multi-million pound payout for her horrific injuries - after a wretched four years.
Vicky, who lost a leg in The Smiler ride smash, says her compensation quest was “stressful and depressing” and forced her to examine the difficulties and anxieties that lie ahead.
But securing the payout means she can at last breathe a sigh of relief. She says: “It’s like a weight has been lifted and I can finally get on with my life.”
The loved-up beautician can also turn her focus to her wedding next year to fiancé Dino Manciocchi.
Vicky, 24, got news of the payout last week when it was confirmed Merlin, owners of Alton Towers, would be settling her claim against them.
She says constantly having to give personal information was one of the worst parts of the process.

I’m extremely proud of her because she’s come a massive long long long way in her life and having to go through what she did with the rollercoaster accident and haven a leg amputation it must’ve been such a struggle to go through it would’ve taken her such a long long long time to get her life back on track again. But now she has an amazing husband and a house of their own and a beautiful child. You’ve come a long long long way Vicky and I couldn’t be any happier or prouder because you went through a awful lot and you’ve managed to stay strong and keep your head up high and I’m seriously extremely proud of ya. it wasn’t easy at first but you’re one in a million
