Sophie Ellis-Bextor says that she is "bruised and sore" after a cycling accident leaves her in A&E.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has posted a picture from her A&E bed after suffering a horrific accident while out cycling.

The 'Take Me Home' singer came off her bike while riding down the Thames Path with her husband near their home in Chiswick, West London.

"I've put the photo in black and white so it's not too gory," she wrote alongside the picture on Instagram. "I am ok, just a bit bruised and sore."

After receiving a series of messages from concerned followers, she added: "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."

Ellis-Bextor has been entertaining fans with weekly live-streamed gigs dubbed 'Kitchen Disco' during the coronavirus lockdown.

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
