Eighties pop sensation Paul Young has opened up about a horror fall he suffered during a Greek holiday that resulted in multiple fractures to his leg and a stay in intensive care, where he underwent three emergency blood transfusions.The Wherever I Lay My Hat singer's stay on the picturesque Greek island of Santorini turned into a nightmare less than a day in when he took a nasty fall down a set of outdoor hotel steps en route to breakfast.

In an exclusive chat with the Daily Mirror, 69 year old Paul recalled: "It had been spitting with rain.The going under foot, as they say, was quite good as I was walking on the flat, but when I got to the top of the steps, 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." He continued, "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.
