You might be wondering what's happened to Dan Walker? After the former BBC Breakfast host shared that he had been involved in a nasty accident.

The star, who lives in Sheffield with his wife Sarah Walker and their three children, shared photographs of his bloodied face as he was sat inside an ambulance. He captioned them, "Bit of an accident this morning. Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike. 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. This is my smiling Thankful for our NHS."
It's not known where the accident took place but the ambulance crew were from East Midlands Ambulance Service.
