Steve Stamp – star off BBC comedy shows People Just Do Nothing and Peacock – has urged others not to cycle while drunk after seemingly breaking an arm while on an e-bike
A rising comedian has warned of the dangers of drink-cycling after winding up in hospital with an injury.
Steve Stamp is a star of hit sitcom People Just Do Nothing in which he plays the character Steven Green. The mockumentary sitcom ran for five seasons from 2014 until 2018, with 27 episodes airing when the show was broadcast via BBC Three and BBC Two.
The 40-year-old star co-created the show and co-wrote the episodes alongside Allan Mustafa – who also starred on the show as Anthony ‘MC Grindah’ Zografoff. While Steve garnered plenty of laughs with his amusing script, he has now ended up in a situation that is of no laughing matter.
Taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, the TV star shared a photograph of himself in hospital – with his arm on display coated in plaster. The image showed him wearing a hospital gown and also revealed he had an inhaler on his person.

Steven went on to reveal he had been injured following an accident on a hired e-bike. He captioned the image, writing: “Please don’t cycle home drunk on Lime Bikes.” A fan reacted to the post, writing: “This reminds me of in PJDN when u ran to the shop and got hit by a car.” And Steve then commented: “Thanks for your kind support.”
Steve and Allan later reunited to make another comedy show – titled Peacock, which has been airing via BBC Three since 2022 and last year aired a second season. Steve previously opened up about his comedy writing.
The show is sumarised: “Andy Peacock is a personal trainer who suffers a crisis of confidence when he is passed-up for a promotion at his gym. He sets up a class to encourage body positivity at the gym.”
He told Wonderland Magazine last year: “Comedy’s a mad art form because you’re trying to make people laugh, but the immediate people around you have seen you do it like eight times already. So you’re sort of having to try and not think about the fact that they’re bored of it and still have the same amount of energy to make somebody laugh somewhere. I never want the director to cut at the point where the script finishes. Let’s do some weird shit, then cut when the laugh happens.”
Last year, Steve took so social media to share highlights from his 40th birthday celebrations – where he went skydiving. Sharing footage via Instagram, he wrote: “Surprise birthday skydive. Managed to jump out of a plane at 13,000 feet without soiling myself or fainting but then ruined everything by f**king up the celebratory high five. F**ksake.”
He later shared a batch of other images – including one of him holding a classic children’s toy – writing: “Learnt how to solve a Rubix cube. Quite a chilled out mid life crisis really.”
