The driver of a car who crashed into three people outside a Soho nightclub is an influencer and former X Factor finalist, the Daily Mail can reveal.
Gabrielle Carrington, 29, known as RIELLEUK, attacked Instagram and TikTok star Klaudiaglam, as well as another woman and a man in his 50s who unlocked her e-scooter.
Klaudiaglam – real name Klaudia Zakrzewska – is in a critical condition in hospital following the alleged attack outside the Inca nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The pair are thought to have been involved in a heated argument outside the club before the incident.
Ms Carrington was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink driving.
After impressing Gary Barlow and other judges in her youth, she made it to the live finals of The X Factor in 2013 as part of girl group Miss Dynamix.
She recently became an Instagram influencer with 362,000 followers and was seen posing next to a black Mercedes similar to the car used in the attack.
Emergency services were called to Argyll Street in central London at around 4.30am on Sunday morning following reports that ‘a car had collided with pedestrians’.
Video circulating online captures the terrifying moment the black vehicle plowed into a group of people.

‘The information you have – no matter how unimportant you believe it to be – could be of vital importance to investigators.’
