Dan took up the reigns on Channel 5 in June, the day when the then Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced a vote of no confidence.
Strictly's Motsi Mabuse was among the people replying in the comments saying: "Oh wow !!! Get well soon." ITN News' Sally Biddulph said: "So glad you are OK Dan, what a shock. Rest up and feel better soon."
