STRICTLY Come Dancing star John Whaite has made a surprising return to OnlyFans – a year after saying he ‘deeply regretted’ joining it.
The Bake Off winner, 35, has been posting a series of very explicit videos and images for his legion of subscribers on the adult only website.
John now appears fully naked on the site, as well as performing sexual acts.
Sources close to the star – who was paired with Johannes Radebe on Strictly – said: “John has been telling friends he feels really empowered by posting what he wants.
“He’s in amazing shape and is proud of how far he has come.
“He’s says it really has nothing to do with money and it’s not about helping fund his bakery business.
“John doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. He’s really happy with the content he is creating.”
Back in 2022 John first set up his account after getting drunk on holiday.
He later admitted he made the decision because the ‘high of Strictly had come crashing down’ and he was struggling to find work.
The star initially made a lot of money but feared he would lose work on daytime TV.
He told Attitude at the time: “The more I was on it, the more money I was making, the more I was willing to give more. I had to be in control of that behaviour and say, ‘Nope, stop this now, before it goes too far’.”
John added: “I regret it deeply.”
John won The Bake Off in 2012, aged 23, while studying law at University.
He went on to train at the prestigious Cordon Bleu restaurant and took on various TV roles on Lorraine, Chopping Block and Steph’s Packed Lunch.
Lockdown during the Covid pandemic allowed him to train and beef up, and he was then chosen to take part in Strictly Come Dancing.
John and South African Johannes Radebe, 36, were part of the first-ever male same-sex pairing on Strictly in 2021.
After they reached the final and the show came to an end, John briefly split from Paul.
He admitted that the Strictly curse had struck, and had made him question his relationship.
He wrote in his memoir, Dancing on Eggshells: “For a while, Paul and I had to have some time apart. I felt like I didn’t know what I wanted from my existence any more.
“Paul had moved back with his parents and I thought to myself ‘What the hell are you doing?’ I was making that childhood premonition of growing old alone come true.
“Fourteen years in a solid relationship with a man who loves me unconditionally, a man who would move the earth to make me feel safe and I was p***ing all over it.”
John and since reunited with Paul and the pair are now married.
John’s rep has been contacted for comment.
