Dan was left injured after he fell from a third-storey balcony at an upscale Paris hotel in 2017. He shattered his legs and was left in a coma for eight days. Pictured Dan and ex-wife Bambi<\/p>\n

‘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 \u2013 because you are dead.<\/p>\n

‘It’s just finished. It sounds a bit morbid, but I think that has stopped me from being scared or regretting things.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Alongside two friends, she was seen rushing to a nearby hospital, where Dan was placed in an induced coma.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

An anonymous donor said: ‘How come you can fund partying, drinking and overseas trips but not your own recovery?’<\/p>\n

‘I’ll give you $5 with the sole intent of telling you what an idiot everyone thinks you are.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"He <\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

In 2018, Dan confirmed his split with Bambi on the 12-month anniversary of the balcony fall.<\/p>\n

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.’<\/p>\n

\u00a0‘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.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
