She's wowed the judges with her dancing skills on Strictly Come Dancing over the last few weeks.
But Ellie Simmonds could have suffered a nasty injury on Tuesday (October 18) that might have forced her to pull out of the BBC dancing show altogether.
The Paralympic swimming champ, 27, narrowly avoided a scary bike accident on the Media City Footbridge bridge in Salford, Manchester, just outside the BBC studio.

Ellie took to Instagram to catch up with her fans and admitted she was "one second" away from disaster as a cyclist rushed past the star at a high speed.
But luckily, the cyclist didn't crash into Ellie despite him riding extremely close to the Paralympian as she snapped a quick video.
In the clip, Ellie said: "It's a stunning morning. Look how beautiful it is," before the cyclist hurled past her and out of the frame.
It seems she wasn't shaken at all by the potential crash as she continued to tell fans about her day.

Ellie went on: "And you've got Gordon and Aiden over there setting up. It is stunning. "
She then turned the camera on herself as she signed off: "Good day and it's a Tuesday."
It comes after Ellie admitted she has a "big crush" on her pro dance partner Nikita Kuzmin, whom she's grown close to over the last few weeks.

She gushed over the Ukrainian hunk in a training video shown on Saturday night's live show (October 15), when the pair danced the Salsa to Shanice's I Love Your Smile.
The swimmer swooned: "I've got a big crush on him. His teeth are really, really nice, which they are."
One clip showed Nikita lean in to peck Ellie on the cheek as he sat back on a chair, and it's safe to say the swimming champ looked thrilled.
Ellie and Nikita scored an impressive 30 points for their Salsa, a result Ellie said she was "very happy" with.
