Mikey, who was born with genetic disorder Stickler’s Syndrome, lost his sight at 23.

Following the horror fall, he said he only suffered from a few bruises and no bones were broken.

He was travelling to Partick on Monday, but got off at the wrong station.

After getting off the train, Mikey thought he was at Partick station and tried to feel for the wall at the back of the platform with his white stick.

But as he was at the wrong station, there was no wall to hit and he plunged onto the tracks at Hyndland – which is the next stop on the line.

Mikey said that kind passengers helped him off the tracks at “one of the busiest stations in the UK”.

He shared a snap on social media which shows his ear defenders and his white beret sitting on the tracks after his fall.

Alongside the photo, Mikey wrote: “Lucky to be alive.

“Fell directly onto the railway tracks at Hyndland, luckily passengers helped me up.

“Station staff attended to me and also ambulance crews.

“You will see the pic of my ear defenders and beret which is where I fell onto the track. They said they will get them later.

“One of the busiest stations in the UK, I am lucky to be alive.”

He finished runner-up in Channel 4’s Big Brother in 2008.

We told earlier this year how Mikey is set to revive his stand-up career as he revealed how he once shared a stage with a teenage Kevin Bridges.

The star did a string of shows at The Stand Comedy Club in Glasgow years before he shot to fame as runner-up of the reality programme 16 years ago.
