Smiling through the sprain

Injured Kate Winslet refused to let a sprained ankle dampen her spirits as she returned home to Britain.

The actress, starring in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, was all smiles as she flew into Heathrow from New York with daughter Mia, three, and five-month-old son Joe.

Winslet, 28, hurt her leg while filming a dance routine for the musical Romance And Cigarettes.

Her publicist said: 'She is using crutches but will be back to normal in no time.' Winslet has lived for a year in Manhattan's trendy Chelsea district with her husband - director Sam Mendes, 38.
