Niall Horan Injures Ankle After Downing '6 Pints' With Cousin

Niall Horan Injures Ankle After Downing '6 Pints' With Cousin

Niall Horan has taken to Instagram Live to explain the circumstances surrounding an ankle injury he sustained.

The former One Direction singer explained that he was "six pints deep" when he fell over a curb and snapped his ankle ligaments.

"I was chasing my cousin, missed the curb 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."

However, the Mullingar man did eventually show Instagram the extent of his injuries.

Live gigs and festivals can’t happen without the hard work of an incredible team behind the scenes, but without gigs all of those people are out of jobs and the live music industry is at risk. Last year the UK’s live music industry added £4.5bn to the economy and supported 200k jobs across the country. Until we can get back to doing what we love, it’s important we speak up and demand government support for all of the various venues, festivals and promoters. This photo is from one of the last shows I played before the world went into lockdown. I miss it like crazy. We must stick together through this. Share a photo from your last show and let’s get their attention. #LetTheMusicPlay

Niall Horan also wasn't solely blaming his penchant for pints for the reason he has to wear a moon boot. Instead, he went on to also blame the freshly laid road he was chasing his cousin on.

"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 curb looks the same as the actual drivable road and there was a little curb."

We've all been there, mistimed a jump onto the curb. Only, Horan must have been going at some speed to sustain as much damage as he did.

You'd almost be impressed, either way, we hope he gets better soon.
