Big Narstie left Celeb Bake Off because he ‘collapsed’ and was rushed to hospital after his body ‘gave up’
BIG Narstie has revealed he left Celeb Bake Off after he collapsed and was rushed to hospital.
The star says his body “gave up” while filming the Stand Up to Cancer edition of the Channel 4 show.
He told the Radio Times: “Truth be told, between TV and my music career, they’ve been working me like a prostitute.
“So f***ing nine days with only 24 hours sleep…I f***ing collapsed, you get me?
“I went to hospital. That was a wake up that I really needed to slow down. I’m only a human being. I’m not a robot.
“I realised that opportunities don’t mean s*** if you’re not healthy.
“If I haven’t rested or I haven’t slept or had food or done the normal basic things as a human being, how could I stand in front of a camera and do stuff, you know what I mean? It’s mad!
“When my body just gave up it was crazy! At night I just felt a bit f***ed up and then it all went downhill.”
But the star says he was delighted about the baked creations the public get to see.
He said: “My rasta pie – vibes!

“My doggy biscuits were flavours! Snap! It was like school biscuits with custard!”
Big Narstie’s shock departure from the show saw host Sandi Toksvig step in to replace him – the first time in the show’s history one of the hosts stood in for a contestant.
On the second day of baking, Noel Fielding announced: “There has been a development overnight.
“Unfortunately, Big Narstie can’t be with us today as he’s a little bit unwell, but he will be replaced by another baker. It’s a seamless swap, don’t worry.”
