Here’s a summary of the article, broken down into key points:
* John Whaite was hit by a car: The Bake off and Strictly star was struck by a car on Tuesday night, suffering injuries but thankfully avoiding what doctors said could have been fatal consequences.
* Details of the accident: Whaite described rolling onto the car’s bonnet and windscreen before falling onto the road. He credits his muscle mass with perhaps saving his life.
* Clarification on speed: He clarified that his initial use of the word “speeding” was figurative, meaning the incident was sudden and shocking, not necessarily that the driver was exceeding the speed limit.
* Recovery: He was scanned and checked at the hospital and is now recovering.
* Background on Whaite: The article briefly recaps his successes on Bake Off and Strictly Come Dancing (where he was part of the first all-male pairing), his business ventures, and his past struggles with steroid use and body image issues.
