Niall Horan has revealed that he will have to wear a medical boot for weeks after snapping the ligaments in his foot during a boozy night out.
The One Direction star, 26, told fans he was now struggling to walk following the mishap which he blamed on alcohol as well as a hidden kerb.
He took to Instagram on Monday with pictures of his foot in the brace before sharing close up snaps of the unsettling green and black bruising around his ankle.
Ouch! Niall Horan has revealed that he will have to wear a medical boot for weeks after snapping the ligaments in his foot during a boozy night out
The Irishman revealed a rather confusing set of events in a Live video as he said: ‘I was running drunk and in these new streets, you can drive down them and they’re also sometimes pedestrianised, they look like they’re made to be pedestrianised.
‘They are not like a real tarmacked street, so the kerb looks the same as the actual driveable road and there was a little kerb.’
He later added: ‘I was about six pints deep. I was chasing my cousin, missed the kerb and went over my ankle.
‘I snapped all the ligaments on the outside of my foot. I’ve got such ugly feet or I’d show the world how bruised it is.’

Niall is fortunate that he now has time to heal after the singer’s tours were delayed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The bizarre mishap comes after MailOnline revealed last month that the 1D star has been dating Birmingham-born Amelia, 23, for around two months after they grew close during lockdown.
A source exclusively told MailOnline: ‘Niall is very serious about Amelia, lockdown has definitely intensified his feelings for her.’
Niall’s romance with designer show-buyer Amelia is his first serious relationship since his split from actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, 23, after the former couple went separate ways in 2018.
A source continued: ‘Niall has been seeing Amelia for the last two months.

‘He thinks Amelia’s gorgeous but they also really get on – and she’s told close friends this could be the real deal.
‘They met in London as Amelia works for shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood and moved to Kensington for her job.
‘Amelia has spent a lot of time getting to know Niall at his London apartment after lockdown restrictions eased.’
MailOnline contacted Niall’s spokesperson for comment at the time.

Shoe buyer Amelia shared the romantic post on her Snapchat before captioning the image ‘Sunday’s vibe’ along with a love heart emoji.
