GBBO and Strictly star John Whaite joins adult content site OnlyFans
Whaite, 34, best known for winning the third series of The Great British Bake Off in 2012 and later appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, is offering 'solo' or 'collaborative' content from £10 subscriptions per month, or £27 for a three-month package.
The profile, which has 116 posts so far, sees a photograph of the TV star lying face-down on a bed in the nude. The caption reads: 'The side of me you haven't seen… yet'.
Whaite is pursuing OnlyFans alongside his successful baking business, Ruff Puff Brownies, which he runs with his husband Paul Atkins. The couple sell hand-baked goods in batches, which regularly sell out due to the demand from their 38,000 followers.
His sign-up to OnlyFans comes after Steph McGovern's Steph's Packed Lunch show, which Whaite would make regular appearances on, was cancelled in 2023 after three years on air.
He told MailOnline in a recent interview that he is turning his focus away from the TV industry and towards business.
'Since leaving the TV industry, I decided to focus on business. Now I run two fairly successful and exciting businesses,' he told the publication.
'One sells brownies and cookies while the other is a meatier enterprise. If you want to buy my sweet treats head to Ruff Puff Brownies and if you want to buy my meat head to my OnlyFans page.'
The chef made Strictly history in 2021 as one half of the BBC show's first ever same-sex male couple with professional dancer Johannes Radebe, and the pair reached the final together.
Whaite, who married his long-term partner Atkins in February 2024, admitted after leaving the dancing competition that he 'fell in love' with his dance partner Johannes Radebe.
'I can't speak for [Radebe] – because I'm not allowed to, legally – but it felt like there was love here,' he added.
Whaite revealed that he discussed his feelings with Atkins and that the pair briefly took some time apart, explaining that 'Paul of all people deserved to understand how I was feeling'.
'You go through life being told that you'll fall in love with someone, you'll get married, you'll have children and that's it,' he said.
'But love can't just be directed to one person. The heart can easily split into two or three or four. And those loves aren't mutually exclusive.'
After the couple reunited following their brief split, Whaite decided to keep his distance from Radebe, explaining: 'If it would be tricky for Paul for me to be in contact with Johannes, then it's a sacrifice that I have to make.'
Radebe addressed Whaite's revelation shortly after the interview, noting that he was 'keen' to emphasise 'the platonic nature of their connection'.
'We have gone on to have such a beautiful experience together that it would be a shame if we were not friends after all that,' he told The Times.
'What we agreed is that, regardless of what life throws at us, we will always keep [this friendship] going. 'We are friends for life,' I always say to him. 'I know where you live. You cannot get rid of me.' I still speak to him.'

Strictly Come Dancing star issues touching tribute 'you sacrificed everything'
Amy Dowden has shared a heartfelt tribute to her father on a momentous day, declaring he 'sacrificed everything' for his family. The Strictly Come Dancing star, who is currently gearing up for her comeback to the dance floor along with two new professionals, turned to social media on Friday (August 8) to honour her dad Richard as he marked his birthday and retirement. The BBC star who has been vocal about her gratitude towards her parents for their unwavering support throughout both her dancing career and her recent breast cancer battle, posted a collection of photographs featuring the duo together. She began with a beautiful image of Richard standing beside her on her wedding day several years ago when she married fellow dancer, Ben Jones. Accompanying the post, Amy wrote: "Happy birthday, HAPPY RETIREMENT DAD! I'm so happy you're finally going to get the rest you so deserve! I'm so proud your my dad! Since I can remember you showed us what hard work, dedication, commitment and loyalty to your family truly is. (Image: INSTAGRAM/AMYDOWDEN) "Everything you did was for us. I couldn't have had a better role model to look up to. You sacrificed everything and devoted your life to your family. Can't wait to celebrate you! Enjoy a well deserved retirement. Love you like everyone who meets you! See you later dad xxx @richard_dowden." And the heartfelt messages of love and support quickly poured in, reports the Manchester Evening News. One person said: "Lovely moments. Happiest birthday and a well-earned retirement to your wonderful dad." Another fan wrote: "Wonderful photos - Happy Birthday and Retirement day to your Dad." Someone else commented: "Such lovely photos, your folks look wonderful. Happy Retirement to your dad." While one person shared: "Lovely photos. Happy Birthday and Retirement to your lovely dad." Another posted: "Beautiful photos happy birthday and retirement to your Dad." With someone else adding: "Fabulous pictures! Wishing you a very happy retirement day Richard'. Have a lovely time celebrating with your lovely family." This follows Amy revealing that it has been 'quite the journey' since her cancer diagnosis as she marked two years since beginning treatment for the condition. The Welsh performer was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023, and later underwent a single mastectomy and chemotherapy. Subsequently, in February 2024, she informed supporters that there was "no evidence of disease" and she battled back to return to Strictly for the 2024 series, where she was paired with JLS star JB Gill. The duo were progressing well in the contest, but Amy sustained an injury, unconnected to her previous health challenges, to her foot and was forced to pull out of the competition, leaving her devastated. Now, with the 2025 series of the BBC One dance competition just around the corner, Amy has been spotted in rehearsals alongside her fellow professional dancers, yet she remains constantly reminded of her previous ordeal. (Image: Nadiya Bychkova Instagram) Taking to Instagram, she posted a clip from during her treatment two years prior, which had been filmed for her BBC documentary, Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me. The devastating footage showed the 34-year-old in floods of tears as she reached the hospital to begin her treatment. Accompanying the clip, the Welsh performer penned: "Two years ago today, I've been reminded. "I'm honestly feeling stronger, happier and HEALTHIER than ever! So grateful and just want to remind those who need - this too shall pass. I'm forever grateful and don't ever take for granted how I'm feeling. This a reminder to live life to the fullest and to remember to check yourself. If you aren't who is going to? Early detection can save lives." After sharing the footage, Amy uploaded a recent photograph of herself radiating joy during dance rehearsals. Next to the image, she penned: "To now, living my best life in rehearsals. "Be patient, be kind to yourself, and celebrate all the wins along the way. It's been quite the journey and process to get here and certainly not easy at times but I'm so glad I pushed through and my love for dance is MORE than ever (didn't know that even was possible, but it is!) Strictly Come Dancing is set to air on BBC One later this year.

Strictly Come Dancing line-up could see pop star join after major hint dropped
Strictly Come Dancing line-up could see pop star join after major hint dropped The 38-year-old pop star competed on the hit BBC show in 2024, and he's now hinted that another of his bandmates has signed up for the new serie Alex Jones and JB Gill on The One Show (Image: BBC) JB Gill has hinted that a JLS bandmate has signed up for Strictly Come Dancing. The 38-year-old pop star competed on the hit BBC show in 2024, and he's now hinted that another of his bandmates has signed up for the new series. JB - who reached last year's Strictly final - told The Sun newspaper: "Without spoiling anything for anyone, I actually know a couple of the contestants who are going to be on it." Asked if he was referring to his JLS bandmates or not, JB replied: "Well, I don't think Oritse is doing it, and Marv would do it but he'd probably forget his routine by the time it got round to Saturday." Marvin Humes and Oritse Williams have both been tipped to join the BBC show in recent weeks. And although JB refused to confirm or deny whether they will appear on Strictly, he has offered some advice to this year's contestants. He shared: "I'd encourage people to have fun on the show as ultimately that's what it's all about. It is a competition, yes, but you're learning a new skill and it helps not to take it too seriously. "You're never going to be a professional in the amount of time you've got to learn the style of routine and the dance. I had fun and I never ever imagined getting to the final, especially with all the challenges I had last year." Meanwhile, JB recently ruled out doing I'm A Me Out Of Here!. Article continues below The pop star doesn't think he'd be suited to the ITV show, even though Marvin starred on the programme in 2023. Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at Capital's Summertime Ball, JB said: "I don't think it's for me. "It's the snakes. Now you've heard it here first, if I do that show, the first thing they're [show bosses] going to do is they're going to put snakes and me in a coffin - and no, just no! I'm OK."

Vincent Simone backs Strictly Come Dancing to air for at least another 10 years
Vincent Simone backs Strictly Come Dancing to air for at least another 10 years The 46-year-old dancer featured on the BBC's Saturday night staple - which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year - between 2006 and 2012 and believes that the programme's immense popularity will see it remain on screens for a long time to come. (Image: BBC) Vincent Simone expects Strictly Come Dancing to air for at least another decade. The 46-year-old dancer featured on the BBC's Saturday night staple - which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year - between 2006 and 2012 and believes that the programme's immense popularity will see it remain on screens for a long time to come. Vincent exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think it will carry on for at least another 10 years. I mean, I don't see why not. "We meet all the Strictly fans who come and see our own shows and they just love it too much. It's the best excuse to get together, families or friends, a bunch of ladies, and they just gossip about the show, they just get entertained from amazing dancing or, you know, fit celebrities. "There is everything in that show and every year you have the variety because you get 16 new celebrities joining the show so it's going to be fresh. You can't say, 'Oh it's always the same thing', yes, they might do the same dances but every person is so individual, especially when they have character and personality. "It's an amazing show. I can't see it ever ending but I will say at least another 10 years just by meeting the fans at the stage door afterwards, they're just obsessed with the show. They will always watch it, no matter what." Vincent felt the time was right to leave Strictly when he announced his departure in 2013 but revealed that he would be open to a return to the programme, particularly after watching his friend Ian Waite thrive on Dancing with the Stars - the Australian version of the show. The Italian star said: "When I left, I thought that was the right time. I was super busy and it go the point where it was seven years in a row, it got to the point where I just needed a change. I did get my change with West End shows and so many other things. "I think now with age, like Ian is taking part in the Australian version. He loves it, he's doing really well. When you watch him dancing with these celebrities on the Australian version you think, 'Oh my gosh'. For me, because he's my friend, but for me he still has it. He could easily be on Strictly the UK version and I like to think that I could do the same because I could bring my personality and my dancing. "So I wouldn't mind that as a challenge at some point." Vincent will appear with ex-Strictly pros Ian Waite, James Jordan, Brendan Cole and Pasha Kovalev in The Return of the Legends tour this autumn and revealed that the shows will be bigger and better than last year's sell-out tour. He said: "We've got a semi-new show coming up and we're all looking forward to it because obviously it's been nearly a year. It will be nice to be back all together and come out bigger than last year. Article continues below "We're also gonna have our solos which for me personally are the most special numbers in the show, when each individual couple gets the stage on their own and for me that's just magic. Everybody has the chance to showcase their talent and their own style of dance. I'll be doing my Argentine Tangos, Ian will be doing his beautiful ballroom dances and Pasha, the Latin king, will be doing his Samba numbers and so on." The Return of the Legends tours nationwide from 5th September until 17th October:
