Dan was seen beaming and dancing in the raucous crowd as he enjoyed a live DJ set just metres away from where he plunged from a three-storey balcony all those years ago.

It is believed Dan, 48, and Jenna, 33, have been dating for around a year.

Jenna, who touts herself as 'Wollongong's Darling', is a writer, actress and comedian best known for her appearances in the ABC comedy series Queen of Oz and Optics, which also stars .

The brunette is also one half of popular comedy duo Freudian Nip, alongside fellow funnywoman Vic Zerbst.

She has also previously toured with The Chaser and performed at major comedy festivals across Australia.

Dan's return to the Hotel Grand D'Amour comes nearly a decade after he plunged 35 metres from a balcony in the same building in March 2017.

He landed feet-first, shattering his legs, leaving him in a coma for eight days.

It's understood Dan and his then-wife Bambi Northwood-Blyth were staying at the hotel while in Paris to shoot a video for their P. Jame clothing range when the accident happened.

The entrepreneur also clarified that the media reports were correct, and that he shattered 'every bone from my feet to my hips and pelvis.'

'I fell three floors (35 metres) out of my hotel room in Paris, did a somersault and landed on my feet which saved my spine and my brain (a miracle says the doctor, one in 100 million chance).'

Dan added about his recovery: 'I have been in a coma for two weeks, had eight operations and am covered in pins and bolts in my bones.'

'I cannot use my legs for another month or two so will be in a rehab centre in Paris recovering.'

Dan was labelled 'pathetic' for asking the public to raise the $250,000 to help cover his medical 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.'

Dan later removed the crowdfunding campaign after it was met with an avalanche of abuse, with the former BRW Young Rich-lister labelled 'disgusting' by commenters.

Dan announced his split from Bambi in March 2018, exactly a year after his Paris balcony fall.

Bambi tied the knot with Dan in Byron Bay in January 2014, with Bambi becoming a stepmother to Dan's son Justice, 10, at the age of 22.
