‘When you die you will never know if you achieved your dreams or if you got the house or if the business didn’t work out – because you are dead.
‘It’s just finished. It sounds a bit morbid, but I think that has stopped me from being scared or regretting things.’
His ex-wife Bambi Northwood-Blyth, a model and TV presenter, was in the Hotel Grand Amour apartment with Dan on March 11, 2017, when he fell ‘feet first’ from a bedroom window.
Alongside two friends, she was seen rushing to a nearby hospital, where Dan was placed in an induced coma.
A month later, previously supportive fans turned on him, labelling him ‘pathetic’ for using fundraising website GoFundMe to ask for $250,000 to cover hospital bills.
An anonymous donor said: ‘How come you can fund partying, drinking and overseas trips but not your own recovery?’
‘I’ll give you $5 with the sole intent of telling you what an idiot everyone thinks you are.’
It was later claimed Bambi was ‘mortified’ about Dan’s decision to ask for money, and reports subsequently emerged speculating the pair had split during the fallout.
He also previously dated PE Nation founder Pip, the mother of his 18-year-old son Justice, but they split in 2008 and have remained on good terms
In 2018, Dan confirmed his split with Bambi on the 12-month anniversary of the balcony fall.
Alongside an image of his estranged wife, he explained: ‘When I fell, my hips and pelvis broke in half, and with that our D&B co-dependent relationship broke too.’
‘We were no longer joined at the hip. Two people cannot live as one, it’s not healthy, you can try but you’re really living half a life.’
He also previously dated PE Nation founder Pip, the mother of his 18-year-old son Justice, but they split in 2008 and have remained on good terms.
