Ex-Shropshire DJ Pete Baker in fight for life
A well-known former Shropshire radio DJ is fighting for his life after suffering a brain haemorrhage while on holiday in Ibiza.
Jeff Woodhouse, better known to most by his DJ name Pete Baker, was on holiday in the Balearics with a close friend when he took a turn for the worst.
The 38-year-old's family are now by his bedside in Ibiza while he undergoes treatment. Doctors say his chances of survival are between 10 and 15 per cent.
Mr Baker, who lives in Burntwood, Staffordshire has worked for The Severn in Shrewsbury, Telford FM, The Wyre in Kidderminster, Signal in Stoke, The Wolf in Wolverhampton. He now has a regular DJ slot at Silks nightclub in Cannock.
Fellow DJ Chris Gray, who was on a six-day break with Mr Baker when he fell ill, described the moment when he knew something was wrong with his friend.
Mr Gray said: "We were having a great time in San Antonio and visiting all the various beaches.
"I was supposed to meet Pete on the Tuesday morning but he was late. Then he rang me to say he'd had a stroke. I ran to the hotel reception and we called an ambulance.
"He was taken to hospital and they did a number of scans. They said he had had a brain haemorrhage."
Mr Baker and Mr Gray headed over to Ibiza on Sunday, June 9. Mr Baker suffered his brain haemorrhage on Tuesday, June 11, and was taken to Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza Town.
