Hey, darlings, let’s talk about a true kitchen heartthrob, John Whaite, who first stole our hearts as the 2012 winner of The Great British Baking Show. This Channel 4 star whipped up more than just perfect pastries - he’s now making headlines with a spicy career pivot to OnlyFans. And trust us, he’s not holding back on the deets!
After charming us on screen, John also made history on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 as part of the show’s first same-sex pairing. But even with all that TV glitter, life threw a curveball when his regular gig on Steph’s Packed Lunch got the axe. Instead of crumbling, though, our baking beau decided it was time for a fresh recipe.
John recently spilled the tea online, saying he was ready to step away from the small screen anyway. ‘I was going to leave TV this year regardless,’ he shared, hinting at a major life reset. And oh, honey, what a pivot it’s been!
Now, let’s get to the juicy part - John’s return to OnlyFans. After previously stepping back from the platform, he’s back with a renewed vibe and a whole lot of confidence. ‘I enjoy being a show-off and celebrating my body,’ he mused, reminding us all to embrace change and strut our stuff - haters be darned!
‘I don’t want to be stuck in a box that limits my next move - life’s too short for that!’
He’s not just flexing for fun, either. When a curious fan asked about his earnings, John cheekily revealed he’s raking in more from OnlyFans in a single month than he did during his entire Strictly stint. For context, BBC’s dance show reportedly pays a flat rate starting at £25,000 ($33,800), climbing to £100,000 ($135,000) for the winner - and John’s out here surpassing that with a wink and a smile.
But, sweetie, not everyone’s cheering for John’s daring new path. While the cash is rolling in, it’s come at a price. He’s waved goodbye to some sweet sponsorship deals, including a partnership with Peugeot, who reportedly asked him to return their car and cut ties over his OnlyFans content.
John took the split in stride, throwing some playful shade with a quip: ‘Are you looking for a man who lasts longer than this car? Well, that won’t be hard to find!’ He doubled down on Instagram, calling out the brand’s lack of inclusivity with a laugh. Talk about handling a breakup with sass!
Oh, and there’s more - his collab with Waitrose has also been ‘expunged,’ as he put it, due to his adult content career. Still, John’s not letting these setbacks dim his shine. He’s owning every choice, and we’re here for this unapologetic glow-up!
