GREAT British Bake Off and Strictly star John Whaite has divided fans by admitting he’ll keep his Christmas tree up until February.

Despite Christian tradition saying Christmas trees should be taken down on the ‘Twelfth Night’, John refuses to let go of the special holiday.

John Whaite wants to keep his tree up until February

The star wants to cling onto the festive period

Posting a video of him with his dog looking out to the perfect snowy setting, John said: “Anyone else wishing they could cling on to Christmas for a little longer?

“I know technically we are only halfway through (and like years gone by I will most likely keep my tree up until Candlemas in February), but there’s a little sorrow in the air that doesn’t seem to soften as we get older. Another year over.

“This glorious location is Loch an Eilein Cottage, one of the @hiddenhighlandretreats hideaways I’ve come to love over the past year (not an Ad – just a satisfied customer).”

Four weeks ago, John had shared the day he’d picked up his tree and decorated it in time for Christmas.

He said: “Feeling very festive day… The tree is done, the candles are lit and it’s time to nestle down with my loved ones. Happy winter.”

John, who took part in the Great British Bake Off in 2012, joined OnlyFans in August.

He revealed the news by stripping totally naked for a snap.

However he quit the over 18s site in October.

John’s since revealed a huge new TV role after leaving the site as he was named as part of Food Unwrapped presenting team on Channel 4.
