It has been reported that Michael Schumacher has been spotted for the first time in 11 years to celebrate his daughter Gina-Marie's wedding. He left the public eye in 2013 having sustained a life-changing brain injury as a result of a skiing accident.

In the time following his accident the former Formula One star, 55, has lived in private with his wife Corinna in a mansion in the Swiss Alps.

Where does Michael Schumacher live?

The Schumacher house, 'Villa La Reserve', sits on 15 acres of land

The family quickly dismissed the rumour despite the mayor of Mallorca, Katia Rouarch, having been quoted saying: "I can officially confirm Michael Schumacher will move in to our municipality and that everything is set up here to welcome him."

Rouarch's team and Schumacher's manager later denied that she had said such. The Schumachers reside in a £50 million Swiss home and it has been reported that the sports star's wife restricts who is able to visit her husband for privacy reasons.
