A bride managed to break both her feet at her wedding reception - after Irish dancing to B*Witched hit C'est La Vie.

According to the Daily Mail, Lyndsey Pardoe, from Birmingham, ended up in the hospital thanks to her over-enthusiastic dance moves to the '90s classic - and now has to wear casts on both legs.

The teacher's story was shared on Twitter by Poppy OA, after she overheard Lyndsey explaining how she had got a "bit too overexcited Irish dancing to C'est La Vie" at her reception on Saturday.

The post has since been retweeted over 9,000 times - even attracting the attention of members of B*Witched.

"Just heard her telling someone it was her wedding on Saturday & she got a bit too overexcited Irish dancing to c'est la vie. If you're gonna have a reason to be in A&E, that should always be it."
