I was UK's most hated man & wanted to die after £1K-a-week drug binges… my daughter's birth is a blur says Dapper Laughs
SLUMPED on his knees, sobbing uncontrollable in a Marbella hotel room, shock comic Dapper Laughs realised he had made the biggest mistake of his life. Days earlier, his glamour model wife of three months stormed out and banned him from seeing their two kids over his skyrocketing cocaine usage and excessive boozing. 14 14 At the time, he was splurging £1,000-a-week on the Class A drug, snorting up to four grams a session, and downing up to three bottles of wine or 10 pints and shots of tequila per night. But instead of flying home after the explosive row in October 2022, which followed benders lasting days, the comedian - real name Daniel O'Reilly - partied on for five more days. Now 1,000 days sober, the London-born funnyman says it was the 'darkest moment of my life' in an unflinchingly honest interview with The Sun. He reveals the deadly debauchery that was 'destroying my family', the 'hell' of bring homeless and living on a blow-up bed and what led him to finally accept the blame for being cancelled over his controversial comedy routines. Daniel, now 41, tells us: 'The night before we went to Spain, Shelley was begging me to stop drinking and using drugs, and said, 'I don't want to come to Marbella with you if you're going to be a mess, can you stop now?' 'I promised I would but as soon as we landed I started. I was an addict. Later she told me, 'You're not welcome back at home and you can't see the kids until you sort yourself out'. 'She flew home but I still stayed out there for four or five days partying as if nothing was wrong, like I didn't have a care in the world, in denial and not thinking about what I had done. 'It only hit on the final day, I was in my hotel room on my knees, crying my eyes out, thinking 'I can't go home, do I stay and continue taking drugs? Do I take my own life?'' Daniel's addiction had been steadily escalating for years - dating back to the height of his career in 2014, before he was cancelled over his risque jokes. Under his alter-ego Dapper Laughs, who was based on 'heightened, exaggerated versions' of his pals, he was the epitome of hedonistic, partying-obsessed "lad culture". 14 14 14 But his remarks, including saying that crying women were just 'playing hard to get' and gags that trivialised rape and sexual assault, sparked nationwide furore. In 2014, his ITV2 sketch show Dapper Laughs: On The Pull and multiple gigs across the UK were cancelled after a petition with 67,500 signatures, including those of Katherine Ryan and Jenny Eclair, calling to end his career. 'I was pushing it too far because it was causing so much controversy,' Daniel reflects. 'The likes, the followers, the ego, the attention, it all became an addiction. 'The more noise I made, the more tickets I sold. It all happened so fast. I was in my early 20s and very immature, very inconsiderate. I offended a lot of people.'

I broke up with my missus and was living above my dealer. 'Once I was up all night sniffing gear and thought about taking my own life. That's when I rang the Samaritans, and it still took me six years to get sober from that point.' In between that time, Daniel appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018, in a failed bid to change public perceptions of him. Upon leaving the house, he proposed to Shelley on live TV. Four years later in 2022, and after just three months of marriage, his wife dumped him on the trip to Marbella, to attend to premiere for the film The Last Heist. 'Shortly after our honeymoon I kept telling my wife and myself that I would cut down and not use drugs, not go out on benders,' he says. 'But the more stressed I got, the more I drank until it was uncontrollable. My wife had enough of the hangovers, me coming in at all hours and not showing up for our family.' 'All-night binges' Despite being father to daughters Roux and Neve, then three and six, he would disappear for days at a time and was boozing or using drugs up to three times a week. 'I spent a lot of time pretending to be successful and a good father online but I was out drinking and taking drugs when I should have been learning to be a parent,' Daniel says. "I would explode and storm off to the pub or my wife and kids would get up in the morning and I would have been up all night doing cocaine.'

'Like hell' When Daniel flew back to the UK from Marbella, he had been kicked out by Shelley and was forced to stay at his late grandparents' home, which was empty and in the process of being sold. It was there he would spend a week detoxing before going into rehab. 'It was like hell,' Daniel says. 'There was only a cross on the wall to stare at.

The series was also more memorable for Vanessa Feltz telling Big Brother to "f*** off" after chalking 'incarcerated', 'ambushed' and 'restricted' on the table. Season 2 (2002): Take That favourite Mark Owen triumphed over TV host Les Dennis. The latter won over the sympathy of the audience after his marriage breakdown with his wife Amanda Holden.

However, Chantelle Houghton won over viewers and housemates alike and was crowned the winner. During her time in the house she found love with Ordinary Boys singer Preston. There was also added drama when George Galloway pretended to be Rula Lenska 's pet cat.

He told the crowd 'she was gagging for a rape.' He revealed he felt suicidal following the backlash and apologised profusely. Dapper explained: 'I don't mind admitting that. I have [since] worked with groups like It's OK To Talk, who deal with male suicide in young men. 'I did a lot of research about it afterwards and worked with them on raising awareness, because I did feel like that. 'I don't now if it was because of the drinking but there was one point where I thought if my old man f***ing dies then I'm f***ing off.' FAMILY AFFAIR Back in 2016, he welcomed his first child. And Dapper and Shelley got engaged in 2018 following as the comedian became the third contestant to leave CBB. The happy couple then tied the knot in July 2022.
