Dan Walker hosted for the first time since he was nearly killed in a bike accident on Wednesday night.
After being hit by a car while riding to work in London last week, the former BBC Breakfast anchor, 45, looked to be in high spirits as he hosted the Royal Television Society Awards in London.
Walker thanked his make-up artist for ‘covering up the injuries’ before the party, days after he revealed photographs of himself wounded and bruised after the crash.
He posted a selfie of himself on the train to London and then another of himself in a lift with a tuxedo suitcase.
Following the event, Walker stated that he was “fortunate to be alive” but had no recollection of the collision, releasing images of himself in an ambulance.
He hasn’t been on his Channel 5 show since, but he expects to return soon.
Walker stated in a column published in The Times that he is “certain” he is not to blame for the catastrophe.
‘I can’t really remember what they (the driver) looked like, from that moment they were looking over me as I came round, but I do recall that they looked deeply distressed and I imagine it is all they are thinking about at the moment,’ he said.
He updated followers earlier this week with a snapshot of himself with considerably less edoema and bruises.
‘Face coming on nicely,’ he said with a photo of himself and his gorgeous puppy Winnie. Hopefully, we’ll be back in business shortly.
‘Thanks for all your lovely messages.’
