Following his break-up with long-term girlfriend Amber Turner, TOWIE star Dan Edgar says his partying days are very much behind him.
The 33-year-old and Amber, 30, called time on their romance back in May and in an exclusive chat, the star tells us that he wants to focus on himself rather than rush into a new relationship.
The former electrician is also quick to play down any rumours of a new romance with blonde model Hannah Rally, who he was recently papped with at Malaga airport. He tells us he's "fully single" and focused on his luxury swimwear brand, Beluga.
Here, Dan opens up about how hard it is to come out of a five-year relationship, but admits it's "for the best"...
Hi, Dan. What prompted you and Amber to call it a day?
There have been things that haven't been right for a long time. We tried it and at the end of the day it didn't work. There were a lot of changes I tried to make stuff I was making an effort with. It's easy on the surface to look at things and think, "Everything looks fine," but there was a lot going on behind the scenes.
It sounds like you really tried to make it work...
There was no way forward for us. I'm 33 now, it's not an age where you just see how it goes. Me and Amber have been together and we've been on and off. We've tried things and gone through a lot of trials and tribulations over the years. In the end it just hasn't worked. So, you move on. It's life. It is what it is.
How are things between you?
