The singer was left with nasty cuts and bruises to her head and arms after falling from her bicycle during a ride along the Thames with husband Richard Jones on Tuesday evening.
Taking to Instagram after receiving treatment, Sophie, 41, admitted she could only share an image of her injuries in black and white because they were too graphic for social media.

Addressing followers, 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 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.’
