Jeremy Vine accused of causing Jason Donovan’s scary near-miss with bus on bike
Jeremy Vine films Jason Donovan’s close encounter with bus
Jeremy Vine has addressed claims that he was the reason why Jason Donavan came close to being hit by a bus while on his bike in London on Tuesday night.
The presenter took to Twitter (X) to share footage of his exchange with the former Neighbours star, as they stopped at some traffic lights followed by what could have been an accident.
In the clip, the pair briefly chatted before Jason rode off slightly ahead of Jeremy and found himself in a compromising position, inches away from the bus.
Shared with his 788,000 followers, BBC Radio 2 presenter Jeremy wrote: “B***y hell. I just saw a bus nearly take out Jason Donovan.”
Many social media users have since claimed the near-crash was Jeremy’s fault, for allegedly distracting the Neighbours star.

One wrote: “All caused by… YOU… Mr Vine you’ve distracted Jason not only by attempting to talk to him but as Jason has mentioned that thing on your helmet.
“The lesson to be learnt here is concentrate on the road around you and try not to distract other cyclists.”
In response, Jeremy simply wrote: “Oh!”
Another accused the pair of jumping a red light and “endagering the safety of a vulnerable pedestrian”.
He hit back writing: “We were stationary, fellah.”

A third typed: “You waved the bus on. You nearly killed a Donovan.”
A fourth said the bus driver judged the situation “to perfection” and told Jeremy to “back off blue collar workers”.
The presenter hit back: “Do your class warfare somewhere else. This is the conversation about road safety.”
Jeremy went on to share a tweet checking if Jason got to his destination safely following their exchange.
He wrote: “Just checking @JDonOfficial got to the theatre safe.
“Lovely to see you on two wheels… apparently this bus close pass was my fault, so apologies for that. Let’s do Oxford Street again sometime.”
In the clip, as the bus got close to Jason, Jeremy is heard saying: “That was a close one. He nearly hit you. Terrible driving.”
He then rode towards the theatre star to check if he was all good.
The actor was relatively calm and giggled as he said: “That was a close one,” before proceeding with his journey.
