Dan Walker’s fans have rallied round to offer support after he injured himself following a “fight with broken glass”.
The beloved TV presenter, 48, has been a regular on TV screens for years, thanks to stints on shows like BBC Breakfast and Strictly Come Dancing. So, is it no surprise that Dan has amassed a loyal legion of fans.
But this week, dad-of-three Dan left plenty of them concerned after updating his followers about a recent injury he suffered.
Dan Walker reveals he ‘had a fight’
On Monday (October 20), Dan Walker took to his Instagram and uploaded a photo of his finger wrapped up in what appeared to be tissue and sellotape. His bandaged finger was stained with drops of blood too.
Ouch that does not look good Dan.
Meanwhile on another finger Dan had a plaster wrapped around it. He wrote on the photo: “HELP!”
And in the comments section, Dan explained what had happened. He shared: “Had a fight with some broken glass last night and now I can’t do up my trousers.”

Fans send their well wishes
As expected, Dan’s fans and fellow showbiz pals rushed to the comments section to share their concerns. One person wrote: “Oh dear, hope you’re ok Dan.”
Another added: “Ouch that does not look good Dan.” A third also penned: “That looks nasty. Hope it isn’t too bad and it heals quickly.”
Meanwhile, Shirley Ballas also chimed in and sent her well-wishes and commented: “Oh dear I’m sorry to hear that.”
Dan appeared to injure himself while at his Sheffield home, where he lives with wife Sarah and their three teenage children: Susanna, Jessica and Joe.
Dan married Sarah, who he met while studying at the University of Sheffield, in 2001. However, he seems to keep his family life very private, rarely sharing more than a glimpse of his wife or kids on social media.
He explained the decision in an Instagram Q&A: “Good question… because she doesn’t want to be on social media. Simple as that. She’s much wiser than me.”
