    Nev Schulman is back on his feet after breaking his neck when he was knocked off his bike by a truck

    The 'Catfish' star was rushed to hospital earlier this month after he was involved in a terrifying accident on the way to pick his son up from school and he needed emergency spinal surgery after sustaining a number of "stable fractures" - but Nev has now revealed he's up and walking again after the crash


    Sharing a video of himself walking around wearing a neck brace on Instagram, Nev explained: "It's been two weeks since I broke my neck and had emergency spine surgery. And I thought I'd get on here [and] just give you all a quick little update.

    "As you can see, I'm up and about. Finishing a little neighbourhood stroll," he said, "which was recommended to me by my physical therapist to keep my body moving.

    "I never had such fatigue from a 10-minute walk but I'm almost home now. I mainly just wanted to get on here to say thank you."

    Nev went on to thank all the medical staff at the hospital in New York where he was treated after the crash as well as all his friends and family for supporting him as he recovers from his injuries.

    He added: "Thank you to the doctors and nurses at Stony Brook [hospital]. Thank you my family and friends for all the amazing support that I've been given and felt deeply for the past two weeks. And thank you so much to you guys.

    "The support and love that I've been getting online has been really, really incredible. It meant so much to me. So thank you, really, from the bottom of my heart.

    "If I've learned anything in the last two weeks, it's to really appreciate what you have. Because you can lose it in a second. You can lose it in a second."

    In a previous update after the accident, Nev revealed he was lucky not to have been left paralysed and is now expected to make a full recovery.

    Nev - who is dad to Cleo, seven, Beau, five, and two-year-old Cy with wife Laura Perlongo - said of the accident: "I never made it to pick up my son from school on the bike. In fact in some ways, I'm glad I didn't. I was alone on impact. Me and the truck. And then I guess the pavement.

    "I was alone and unconscious. And then conscious. Maybe I was fine (I wasn't). Maybe I can still do my long run on Thursday (I couldn't).

    "I broke my neck. C5 and C6 to be exact. Stable fractures. I'm not paralysed. My hands were a question mark there for a minute but the human body is incredible and so are HUMANS [sic]."
