Price Tag singer Jessie J has revealed that she almost lost the ability to walk when she broke her ankle.

The 25-year-old former coach on The Voice UK was left wheelchair bound after falling off stage during rehearsals for a performance in 2011.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Jessie, real name Jessica Ellen Cornish, said:  ''That accident almost cost me the ability to walk.

''I've had a bone transplant, a fusion, a metal plate and four bolts put into my foot.

''I have a physio who travels around with me a lot of the time and it still causes me pain every day.

''I often have to have my foot popped back in as it pops off the bone.

''Plus it's pretty rare that I can wear high heels these days - mostly flats.''

When Jessie first came home after the injury, the star's mother had to move in with her as she needed so much help.
