The 80s pop icon told the : “As soon as I put my foot on the first step, my leg slipped out from underneath me. I fell and my leg cracked as soon as I hit the step.

“Once I'd gone down, I couldn't stop. There was no handrail, so nothing to hold on to. I just thought, ‘I've lost control’.

"I fell down to three or four more steps, fracturing my leg again and again. It was a multi-fracture. When I came to a stop, I looked down and my leg was in a slightly  position, underneath my bottom.

"I thought ‘I don’t like that. My leg shouldn't be like that’, so I tried to straighten it up and that’s when the pain started’’.

Paul spent nine hours lying on a gurney in the hospital corridor before catching a private flight to Athens for surgery.
