SOPHIE Ellis-Bextor has been left with bloody scars and cuts to her body after she was rushed to A&E following a nasty bike accident.
The 41-year-old star was spotted walking near her home today with a large, yellow bruise on her forehead whilst her arms and hands were peppered with red marks.

Wearing denim dungarees and a striped top, Sophie failed to raise a smile as she took some exercise after telling fans about her accident last week.
The mum-of-five appeared steady on her two feet, but appeared to be in pain and discomfort with nasty cuts and grazes to her arm, hands, and forehead.
At one point she was seen holding the back of her neck and her back, and the mum looked downcast as she lifted one arm to reveal a bandage just below the elbow.
The singer told fans about her accident last week from her hospital bed as she explained what had happened in the post’s caption.

Sophie admitted that she used a black and white filter because the picture was otherwise “too gory” to share.
In the photo, the mother-of-three is wearing a hospital gown and face mask, with a bandage secured to a cut on her forehead with tape.
Sophie has painful-looking cuts and bruises around one eye, and is holding her left forearm up to show off more gashes and grazes.
The singer thanked members of the public who helped her and her husband, Richard Jones, when they saw what had happened.
She wrote: “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 four 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.”
Sophie’s concerned followers flocked to the comment section to send their love and wish her a speedy recovery.
In recent months, the star and her family have been delighting fans with weekly, glitter-filled concerts from their stunning West London home.
While the brunette beauty has been in charge of the mic, her children have also been getting involved with she and Richard mum and dad to 16-year-old Sonny, 11-year-old Kit, eight-year-old Ray, four-year-old Jesse, and four-month-old Mickey.
