"Gabrielle Carrington, 29, known as RIELLEUK - has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink-driving," The Daily Mail reports.

Gabrielle hit Klaudia Zakrzewska with her car, along with a woman and a man who was in his 50s. It's believed that Gabrielle and Klaudia had previously been involved in a dispute. The argument reportedly took place outside the club in the hours leading up to the incident.

"Emergency services were called to Argyll Street in central London following reports that 'a car had been involved in a collision with pedestrians'," The Daily Mail's report continued, before noting the contents of video footage circling online. "In the graphic footage, Klaudia is seen being knocked to the ground and becoming trapped underneath the vehicle as bystanders rush to help."

Gabrielle competed on the 2013 series of The X Factor as part of a girl group known as Miss Dynamix. The group initially impressed the judges, before fizzling out later in the show.
