Sophie Ellis-Bextor has shared a photo of her injuries from hospital, after being rushed to A&E following a cycling accident.
The singer was hospitalised after she “took a tumble from the tow path down to the side of the Thames” during an evening bike ride on Tuesday (2 June).
Sharing a picture of her bloodstained arm and face, Ellis-Bextor wrote on Instagram: “I ended up in a&e last night after I took a tumble from the tow path down to the side of the Thames on my bike during an evening cycle.
"I’ve put the photo in black and white so it’s not too gory. I am ok, just a bit bruised and sore.”
She continued: “I want to thank the ambulance crew and the staff at west mid hospital (where I was born, as it happens) for gluing me back together.
"I also want to thank Lucas, Colin, Josh and Willow who were 4 runners who stopped and helped @richardjonesface and I when I hurt myself. You were so calm, thoughtful and reassuring. Thank you very much. I hope you see this message as I didn’t get your details. You’re all lovely people.”
During lockdown, Ellis-Bextor has been hosting a weekly Kitchen Disco series, filmed by her husband Richard Jones and sometimes featuring their five children.
The Friday night shows see Ellis-Bextor singing dancefloor classics as well as her own songs with modified lyrics for the pandemic.
