On Monday, the Channel 5 presenter shared a tweet saying he was ‘glad to be alive’ after being knocked over by a car.
‘Bit of an accident this morning. Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike,’ the 45-year-old wrote after snapping some selfies in the ambulance.
‘Face is a mess but I don’t think anything is broken. Thanks to Shaun and Jamie for sorting me out and the lovely copper at the scene.
After discussing the latest headlines on the morning programme, Jon and Sally addressed Dan’s accident.
‘On the BBC News website, here’s a familiar face everyone,’ Sally, 51, said.

‘Dan Walker, our Dan was injured after his collision with a car while he was cycling yesterday.’
She continued: ‘Now, he’s OK, he tweeted photos with the message he’s glad to be alive. Later on he confirmed he’d obviously been checked out and had amazing help from the ambulance service and the NHS and he is now home resting, he’s OK.’
Jon added: ‘It sounds like he was out cold for 20 minutes or so wasn’t he? Get well soon Dan.’

In a recent update shared on his Instagram Story, the former Strictly Come Dancing star expressed his difficulty sleeping might have been down to the amount of medication that he’d been put on.
He wrote: ‘Can’t sleep… too many drugs I think,’ alongside a cry-laughing emoji.
