Sophie Ellis-Bextor has shared a bloody snap from hospital – after being rushed to A&E following a cycling accident.

The 41-year-old spent the night in the hospital after tumbling off her bike while out cycling with her husband Richard Jones.

Taking to Instagram, Sophie shared a candid image of her wearing a hospital gown and a face mask, with a bandage secured on her forehead.

“I ended up in a&e last night after I took a tumble from the towpath down to the side of the Thames on my bike during an evening cycle,” she started the post.

EDIT – hello all. Thank you for all the lovely messages. I should have said that the main reason I posted was to thank the incredible folk who stopped and helped (although the sympathy is very cheering) so don’t worry I’m ok and being well looked after. Richard has been amazing and the kids are being very sweet ❤️ Lots of love. 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. 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. Xxxx

“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 wrote.

Sophie continued to thank the hospital staff for their help and kindness.
