"I have known where I have been all along," said Tindall.

"It has been worse for my family because they weren't there and it was hard for them to get hold of people to find out what was going on. I was never too worried."

Tindall said he had taken newspaper headlines suggesting he had been at death's door with a pinch of salt.

"If you read the articles, most of them haven't been too far off, but it's just been the headlines," he added.

"Someone gets paid to write headlines, but I was never near death and I am still not engaged.
