Gary Lucy has shared how he was lucky to walk away from a horror car crash on Boxing Day.
The Hollyoaks actor took to his Instagram page, calling himself “Gary 9 lives” after his car appeared to be completely destroyed by the accident just one day after Christmas.
Gary, 41, shared a string of images of his wrecked Range Rover on what appeared to be a dual carriageway just hours after celebrating the festive period with fellow Celebs Go Dating star and now girlfriend, Laura Anderson.

“It’s the happiest I’ve been in a long time. Things are going really well for us, I wouldn’t change anything.”
Gary who appeared as Luke Morgan on Hollyoaks from 1999 to 2002 returned to the show in 2017 after his character had been “living in Canada”.
However, the star bowed out earlier this year after 23 years on the Channel 4 soap after a string of hard-hitting storylines, including his male rape story.
Gary was the first actor to tackle a male rape storyline and together with Channel 4 executives received huge praise for their handling of such a sensitive topic.
