Sophie 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.'

Reflecting the decision to let people into her home via social media in May, the typically private singer told the Daily Mail: 'It has been quite surreal, hasn't it?
'But this whole situation is surreal, so I guess it has been fitting. We've had all sorts — the kids joining in, or sitting there bored with it all as I dance around them.
'We've had the baby crawling across the floor, trying to pull the plug out of the router. It's not stuff you normally have to contend with when you go on stage.'
The singer ensures her children, Sonny, 16, Kit, 11, Ray, eight, Jesse, four, and Mickey, 17 months, all get in on the act during her weekly singalongs.
She added: 'I think what has kept some people tuning in is the music, but others are only watching to see if any of my kids injure themselves.
