Florence Welch: Ex almost caused me to lose leg

Florence Welch says she nearly lost her leg thanks to a former boyfriend.

The Florence + The Machine singer still has a scar on her right foot from when she was 17 years old.

The scar was caused when she received a phonecall from a boy she liked, the discussion of which caused her to jump around the room enthusiastically and land on a piece of floorboard which almost caused irreversible damage.

Welch explained: "A piece of floorboard got stuck in my foot when I was 17. I jumped off the bed because a boy I liked had phoned me. He turned out to be my first love, so I mean that worked out. But I almost lost the foot. That is the problem with being an exuberant person."
