Dan Walker is presently unable to use his left hand as a result of his horrific bike accident.
Earlier this week, the 45-year-old Channel 5 news anchor confessed he’d been in a car accident and, while his face was a’mess,’ he avoided breaking any bones.
He uploaded a photograph of his wounded and bruised face, as well as photos from inside an ambulance, in which he thanked the paramedics and police officer who assisted in his treatment.
He was later replaced on 5 News that evening, after stating he had “no recall” of the incident.
The star has been updating fans on his recovery, and in his latest snap he revealed that he was having difficulty with one of his hands.
‘I was just thinking about tea but can’t do much with my left hand at the minute so these babies have arrived at just the right time,’ he penned via Instagram Stories.
Dan was replaced on Monday’s 5 News by Tessa Chapman, who wished him well on his recuperation as the show drew to a close.
‘All of the team wish him a quick recovery and send him all of our best wishes. Get well soon Dan,’ she said on-air.
‘It’s weird to get lectured by people telling me that bike helmets aren’t necessary when the emergency services at the site yesterday informed me I probably wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t wearing one,’ the Channel 5 host stated in a fresh tweet following his return home from the hospital.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star added: ‘Funny old world! I hope you’re having a good Tuesday. Soup through a straw for lunch⛑.’
Dan’s former Strictly Come Dancing co-stars, including Rose Ayling-Ellis, Tom Fletcher, John Whaite, and judge Motsi Mabuse, have all shown their support for him.
Even his TV nemesis Piers Morgan contacted him, stating, ‘Actually, a little aesthetic improvement… I’m pleased you’re okay, mate.’
