Bake Off winner John Whaite has been hit by a car.
The star was rushed to hospital after the horror incident last night.
In a post on Instagram, he said: “Last night I got run over. I rolled up the bonnet, damaging it and the windscreen, before splatting onto the road and crawling to the pavement where some angel of a human threw his coat around me and waited with me for an ambulance.”
After arriving at hospital, TV chef John was given treatment by doctors.
He added: “The doctors said, ‘Thank god you’re 16 stone of muscle because it could have been fatal.
“Moral of the story — build strong muscle and core strength and don’t wear black while crossing the road in the dark when an idiot comes speeding without looking….”
John has reassured fans he is doing well despite his ordeal.
He said: “I’ve been scanned and poked and prodded and I’m OK.”
The incident comes just weeks after John revealed he has suffered from an addiction to steroids.
In a video on social media, he told fans he had been taking anabolic steroids for five years.
He said: “For the past five years, I’ve let myself down. I haven’t respected my body or my mind, I’ve put body image before my own wellbeing and before time with my family.
‘Steroids have made me want to end my life. That stops today. Right now.”
John shot to fame on Bake Off in 2012. Since then he has starred on Strictly, Steph’s Packed Lunch and Lorraine.
