Christopher Maloney has reportedly been left ‘shaken’ following a car accident in Blackpool.
The singer was travelling with partner Gary when his car ran into trouble.
At around 12.20pm yesterday afternoon the X Factor star was hit by another driver.
Emergency services rushed to the scene but the 45-year-old was taken to hospital by ambulance where he was treated.
Gary and two others in the car were also taken to hospital.
Christopher said later in a statement: “Well this is what you get when idiots speed and I would just like to say a big thank you to Blackpool’s emergency services for everything today regarding this situation.”
After being discharged from hospital, the X Factor 2012 contestant wrote on Twitter: “Hey guys I’ve been discharged, very battered and bruised but thankful to Lord above it wasn’t more serious. Thanks for your lovely tweets xx.”
Christopher recently returned from a holiday in Egypt with Danniella Westbrook where he celebrated his engagement.
