Dan Walker has said he watched his old Strictly Come Dancing videos to test if he had a concussion following a serious bike crash last month.

The 46-year-old former BBC Breakfast presenter previously revealed he had been knocked off his bike by a car by sharing a series of images of his bloodied and bruised face on social media.

He was involved in the crash in Sheffield, where he lives, on February 20. Following the incident, he kept his followers updated with his recovery on social media and announced his return to Channel 5 earlier this month after 10 days of recovering at home.

Speaking to Jeremy Vine on Channel 5, Walker said: “So I watch some of my old dancing (videos) back and then I pause them and I was testing my brain and my body to think, ‘Does my brain know what the next move is and can my body remember it?’ And it did on every single occasion. “So I told Nadiya that she’s helped me with my recovery from this accident, so Strictly does help even years after.” He previously said that he is “confident” that he was not to blame for the incident, but could not go into details due to an ongoing police investigation.
