Nicky Campbell's daughter Lilla has been left badly injured after an e-bike hit and run in south London last night.

Taking to social media on Saturday, the BBC radio presenter, 65, described a nightmare ordeal for the family after Lilla, 26, was rushed to hospital -where a man then exposed himself to her as she waited injured in A&E.

He said Lilla was struck by the e-bike in Peckham while with her sisters, only for the rider to 'scarper' after a crowd gathered at the scene.

She is now at home and recovering, although is 'badly injured', the journalist said.

Unfortunately her ordeal was not over after the swift arrival of paramedics, who took Lilla and her sisters to King's College Hospital - only for a 'drunk' man to expose himself to the group.

He has since been arrested, Mr Campbell said, as he thanked the 'magnificent' Met Police and hospital staff. 

Describing a 'long and emotional night', the 5 Live presenter said: 'My daughter Lilla was hit by an e bike hit and run last night in Peckham - hopefully there is CCTV.'

Adding that an ambulance arrived at the scene within two minutes of being called, he continued: 'She is badly injured but now at home. It could have been so much worse. We are incredibly lucky. 

'Then when she and her sisters and a friend arrived at A&E a drunk entered the trauma room where they were and exposed himself to them. 

'The police were there and he has been arrested. The police were magnificent. I spoke to them when I arrived at 3.15am and he is now in custody. 

'We all want to say a massive thank you to our amazing police, the wonderful staff at King's College Hospital - nurses and doctors. Calum and the team. From the bottom of our hearts. They were all b****y superb.'

It is not thought that the e-scooter rider has yet been arrested. 

Messages of support have flooded in from his followers, wishing his daughter a speedy and full recovery. 

BBC Breakfast and radio presenter Rachel Burden said: 'My goodness Nicky - so sorry to hear all this. Hope Lilla and the girls ok.'

Lilla is the second of the veteran broadcaster's four daughters, and sister to Breagha, 28, Kirsty, 24, and Isla, 22.

Mr Campbell shares his children with his second wife and former Virgin Radio presenter Tina Ritchie, who he has been married to for nearly 29 years.

He previously wed Linda Larnach, who he met while working at Northsound Radio, in 1988. 

E-bikes have become a common feature on Britain's streets, but are known for causing havoc - with many crashes.

Just this month, teenager Billy Stokoe, 19, was jailed for six years and nine months for killing a great-grandmother while on an e-bike.

Stokoe knocked down 86-year-old Gloria Stephenson while high on cannabis and holding his mobile phone in one hand as she crossed the road at a zebra crossing in Sunderland.

The pensioner was fit and active and was walking her daughter’s dog as she looked to complete her daily 10,000 steps as part of a strict exercise regimen.

After colliding with Ms Stephenson, callous Stokoe retrieved the Sur Ron electric motorbike and sped off, hiding the vehicle in a friend’s home.

He was driven to the police station by his mother later that day.

A separate incident in January saw a mother fear she had lost her unborn child after she was struck by an e-bike at a pedestrian crossing in Poole.

Siobhan Barling, 30, was knocked to the ground by the bike, which was also carrying a pillion passenger, with the vehicle failing to stop at the scene.

Siobhan's unborn son, James, was due in just six weeks and she immediately feared the worst after he stopped moving in aftermath of the collision. 

She was taken to hospital where she underwent an emergency Caesarean section, although her son James needed intensive neonatal care, he has since gone home.
