Dan Walker’s hospital dash
Dan shared the dramatic news on Instagram, which was met by concern from his many fans.
“Bit of head-based drama today! After whacking my noggin on the big glass window yesterday I got sent to A & E today because I was feeling a little wobbly,” he wrote.
“A lovely nurse at Barnet Hospital called Karina checked my vitals and 6ft 9 inches consultant Erik Witt gave me a CT scan to check for a bleed on the brain. Thankfully… all ok.
“I’ve got to rest for a couple of days – so I’ll be a bit behind – but ready to dig in again next week.
The telly fave also thanked the NHS and his as-yet-unrevealed Strictly partner, who went above and beyond to support him.
“A timely reminder of how amazing the NHS is and, even though I’m not allowed to tell you who my Strictly pro is,” he continued.
“I can tell you that she waited for hours in the car park to make sure I was ok. Whatever happens on the telly… she has a friend for life.”
