Robbie Williams' relief at getting through his live performance on Sunday's X Factor show was cut short when the car he was travelling in ran over a young paparazzo.

The singer was being driven away from Fountain Studio in Wembley following his TV appearance when a teenage photographer was apparently pushed to the ground, ending up under Robbie's car.

Robbie looked understandably shocked by the incident, and appeared to be in tears as he exited the car and ran back inside.

The snapper was taken to hospital but suffered only minor injuries.

Earlier in the evening, a visibly nervous Robbie had performed his comeback single Bodies on the X Factor live results show.
