X Factor star ‘arrested after car crashes into influencer outside Soho club’

A woman who was hit outside of a Soho nightclub has been revealed to be a social media influencer.

Instagram and TikTok star Klaudiaglam was struck by a car after what is believed to have been a heated row outside the club, the Daily Mail reported.

The car also struck another woman and a man in his 50s who was unlocking his e-scooter.

According to the Daily Mail, former X Factor finalist and influencer Gabrielle Carrington, 29, who goes by RIELLEUK, has been arrested.

She is being held on suspicion of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink-driving.

Klaudiaglam – whose real name Klaudia Zakrzewska – is in a critical condition in hospital following the alleged attack outside Inca nightclub in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Carrington found fame when she reached the live finals of The X Factor in 2013 as part of the girl group Miss Dynamix.

The singer more recently has taken to being an influencer and racked up 362,000 followers on Instagram.

According to police, a black Mercedes allegedly mounted the curb and injured pedestrians in busy Argyll Street in central London at around 4.30am on Sunday morning.

Footage taken at the scene shows a car lurching forward before Klaudia is seen walking in front of it.

She then disappears under the bonnet and is left unconscious in the street as people fight to get the driver from behind the wheel.

A man in his 50s sustained life-changing injuries, and was taken to hospital. Another woman, aged in her 30s, was treated for minor injuries. 

Officers have confirmed the incident is not being treated as terror-related.

Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, of Specialist Crime South, said: ‘As our enquiries continue, our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones.

‘While this incident took place in the early hours of the morning, venues in the area were still open, and we believe a number of people will have seen what happened.

‘I would urge anyone who witnessed the collision, or any activity prior to it that they feel may be of relevance, to come forward.

‘The information you have – however minor you believe it may be – could be of crucial importance to investigators.’
