No, Jeremy Vine is not sick. The host is probably in the best shape of his life, alive and kicking on all cylinders. He has been very active on social media, especially on Tiktok and Twitter.
However, Vine fell off his 8-foot (2.4-meter) penny-farthing bike to the ground in February 2022 and passed out for about a minute. People immediately rushed him to Charing Cross Hospital; he was told by medical staff that his only injuries were a black eye and some discomfort after the fall.
The 57-year-old journalist and former host of BBC Radio 2 midday show Vine is the benefactor of Radio St. Helier. This UK registered charity broadcasts radio programs to patients at St. Helier’s Hospital in Carshalton.
Next door, anti-vaccination campaigners demonstrated outside Vine’s house in October 2021 to oppose the BBC’s broadcast of COVID-19 vaccinations. They gave his wife their “anti-vaxx prescription”, an unofficial document because he was not home at the time. He later uploaded Internet videos of the event. Vine made remarks about the vaccination and claimed to have caught the coronavirus.
