Dan Walker has said that five months after his horrific bike collision, he still confronts everyday health challenges such as getting out of the car.
In February, the Channel 5 broadcaster was engaged in a nasty collision that left him injured and bloodied after being thrown off his bike by a motorist.
Dan, 46, posted photos from inside an ambulance shortly after his fall and has since kept followers updated on his lengthy rehabilitation.
He already discussed the possibility of having his teeth out and being unable to feel a portion of his lip earlier this year, and he’s now provided another health update.
The Strictly Come Dancing star said: ‘I landed on my right hip really, really heavily and I jolted my back a bit, so I’ve got nerve damage down the right side of my body.
‘Every time I get out of a car, it takes me about two minutes to get my legs kicking into gear.’
Dan also expressed relief that the collision had not resulted in more “severe” repercussions.
He continued to the Express: ‘But it’s okay, I’m getting better.
‘I didn’t break anything, it could have been a lot more serious than it was.’
He added: ‘Every injury I had was below the level of my helmet, and the guys in the ambulance told me that the car stopped 50 centimetres away from my head.
‘So it could have been very different.’
This comes after Dan said that he experienced an out-of-body experience following the incident.
‘I had a strange experience where I was watching myself on the floor then eventually I came back into my body,’ he told The Sun’s TV magazine.
‘It was a sort of reset moment for me.’
He posted a series of photographs of his bleeding and battered face on social media after being transported from the site in an ambulance at the time.
‘Bit of an accident this morning. Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike,’ he wrote.
He slept for ten days before returning to his job on Channel 5’s 5 News, and he was back on his bike a month later.
