NICKY Campbell’s daughter was rushed to hospital after she was hit by an e-bike.
The broadcaster announced that Lilla, 26, was badly injured while out in Peckham with her sisters last night.
“It’s been a long and emotional night,” he said on Instagram.
He added that he hoped CCTV footage would be able to track down the rider, who allegedly “scarpered” once the ambulance arrived.
She is now recovering at home.
“It could have been so much worse. We are incredibly lucky,” said the BBC radio host.
He thanked the staff at King’s College Hospital for their “superb” treatment.
The prominent Scottish broadcaster, journalist and author is best known for hosting ITV’s Long Lost Family and BBC Radio Live.
He rose to prominence in the late 1980s, with a ten year stint as a DJ on BBC Radio 1.
His life has been shaped by his personal experience as an adoptee and his advocacy work for children in care.
He unearthed his own Irish roots after deciding to track down his birth mother, who died in 2019.
The radio star says he remains on good terms with his biological father – a Catholic policeman from Belfast.
At the 2015 Queen’s Birthday Honours he was awarded an OBE for services to children, adoption and fostering.
Nicky is married to journalist Tina Ritchie and has four daughters, Breagha, Lilla, Kirsty and Isla.
He’s previously credited his daughters for being hugely supportive during his mental health struggles, which he has talked about openly.
