Overview
- Posting on his @whaitelifter Instagram, the Bake Off winner said he was run over the night before and taken to hospital.
- He described rolling onto the car’s bonnet and windscreen before landing on the road, and said a passerby stayed with him until an ambulance arrived.
- He reported being scanned and examined in hospital and told followers he is okay.
- Whaite said doctors told him his 16-stone muscle mass may have prevented a fatal outcome, and he urged caution about visibility when crossing in the dark.
- Later, he clarified that his reference to the driver “speeding” was figurative and that he does not know the vehicle’s actual speed; recent coverage also notes his prior disclosure of prolonged steroid use as context.
