Stephen Bear has opened up about being involved in a serious car accident in which he “could have died”.

The 27-year-old Just Tattoo of Us presenter, who is dating co-presenter Charlotte Crosby, was driving from Redditch to Bristol with his brother Rob when the incident happened on Sunday morning.

He told the Daily Star: “So I was driving 70mph and in the distance saw a car frantically swerving. It was like something out of an action movie, like a dream.

"The black mini was swerving left and right. I said to Rob 'Oh, this is really bad.' I thought she'd lost control and then would carry on driving.

"But she kept spinning. As she went left, I went right to go round it. But as I went right, she went right. I thought 'This ain’t good'."

Bear described how he broke his car just in time, as the woman driving the other car crashed into a wall, causing her airbags to come out and windows to smash.

He then ran into the road and pulled the woman out of the way.

The woman, who wishes to remain unnamed, said: “He was amazing. So calm and took complete control of the situation.

"First thing he did was make sure I was okay and safe and then made sure my car was moved and everyone was safe."

The next morning, she texted Bear thanking him for saving her life.
