LEONA LEWIS' FEARS OVER RIDING ACCIDENT

Leona Lewis feared she would be left paralysed after her horse riding accident last month (Jan10) - just like tragic Superman actor Christopher Reeve.

The Bleeding Love hitmaker was left nursing a string of injuries after she fell off her steed, but the brave singer was back in the saddle just a week later.

And Lewis is grateful she escaped relatively unscathed, because her first thought after the fall was late star Reeve, who was paralysed following a riding accident in 1995.

She tells Britain's OK! magazine, "Falling off my horse (was my scariest moment.) I hit my head and I also injured my leg and arm. You think about people like Christopher Reeve - and that could be you. I always thought I'd get up on any horse, but that made me realise I'm not invincible."
