Gyles posed with the ambulance staff who’d helped him after his tumble and thanked them for their kindness.

Gyles recently revealed that he’d turned down a spot on Strictly Come Dancing.
The 74-year-old said he was invited by producers on the BBC but had to refuse.
Many insisted they would love to see him on the Strictly dance floor and urged him to reconsider.
Gogglebox stars are not generally allowed to appear on other shows, though that doesn’t apply to the celebrity version.
Gyles tweeted his followers explaining why he’d turned down the chance to appear alongside them.

He wrote: “Yes, I have been approached about doing #Strictly (and I’m flattered because I love the show), but sadly it’s not for me for this compelling reason:
“I ain’t got rhythm … I REALLY ain’t got rhythm.”
As if to emphasise the point he then shared a video of Alice Faye performing He Ain’t Got Rhythm in the classic movie musical On The Avenue.
Gyles thanked the NHS for their help during his time of hardship[/caption]
