Dan Walker offers health update after horror bike accident left him drinking and eating through straw

Dan Walker has offered an update after he was left bloodied and bruised in a cycling accident. The former BBC Breakfast host took to social media on Monday (February 20) where he revealed that he had been knocked off his bike as he shared a picture of himself with ambulance crews.

Later, sharing an image of himself with bruises and giving a thumbs up, the 45-year-old added that he had no memory of being hit by a car. Dan told his Instagram followers: “Just got home from hospital. Battered and bruised but – amazingly – nothing broken. Very thankful to still be here. I have no memory of anything and just remember coming round on the tarmac with paramedics & police around me."

He also thanked the police, NHS and ambulance services for helping him and said none of his bones were broken as he shared pictures of his injured face and hands, his dog and the nurse who treated him in the hospital.
