An award-winning singer has said she was shot in the face by a BB gun "multiple times".

Cara Dillon said the pellets were fired from a passing vehicle in Frome, Somerset, on Wednesday evening.

The Northern Irish singer said she was okay but "really, really shocked".

In a post on X, she praised Avon and Somerset Police, who she said had been "great".

"Thankfully, we do not believe anyone has been seriously injured or required any medical treatment and enquiries into the incident are ongoing."
