In his 2007 autobiography Between The Lines: My Story Uncut, Jason wrote that it was this moment that prompted him to turn his life around.
According to Jason, Angela told him: ''Ditch the drugs or ditch your chance of a loving family life.''
He wrote: "If the relationship had any chance of working, she told me, and if I was going to have any involvement in the life of our child, I would have to get myself back on track. Permanently."
So the pair gave things another go, and later moved in together to a West London home.

Jason and wife Angela both live in an incredible £5.5million London home with their family.
The five-bedroom spacious property located in Notting Hill is nothing shy of luxurious, with the downstairs revealing a large dining room for the family to enjoy.
Despite a modern look, Jason and Angela have preserved some of the original features such as the wooden beams on the ceilings.
Jason’s devoted wife keeps a very low profile, so not much is known about her, however in 2015, Angela set up a company selling ethically sourced gifts for boys.
Her business partner was none other than Dawn Barlow, the wife of Take That frontman Gary.
When did Jason Donovan and Angela Malloch get married?
Jason and Angela tied the knot in 2008.
The couple wed in a surprise ceremony which was held in Bali after Jason convinced their friends and family to join him for an early 40th birthday celebration.
At the time of the celebrations, a friend said: ‘'It was a surprise for everyone. Guests flew in from around the world – London, Australia, LA.'’
Jason has previously credited his wife for "saving him" as he struggled with addiction in the 1990s.
He said: ''Some people are sent to you for a reason. For me, that person was Ange.
"Had it not been for her, I doubt I’d still be standing. She was my saving grace and set to become the real love of my life.''
Do Jason Donovan and Angela Malloch have children?
The couple are the parents to three children – Jemma, Zac and Molly.
Donovan’s daughter Jemma was born in March 2000.
A year later the pair welcomed their second child Zac in March 2001.
And in 2011, their family continued to grow as Angela gave birth to their third child Molly.
Daughter Jemma, who previously starred in Neighbours like her dad, was also part of the cast on the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.
Jason regularly shares a glimpse into his family life with his 143,000 fans on followers on the social media platform Instagram.
The star often shares sweet snaps alongside his wife and children to mark special occasions.
One example was in March 2023, when the dad-of-three took to social media to wish daughter Molly a Happy Birthday.
Posting a number of sweet snaps of Molly, Jason wrote: ''When it comes to love it’s not always about how you feel about that person; it’s about how that person makes you feel about yourself..
''Happy Birthday to the greatest gift I’ve been given on this planet! Molly Donovan. My world.
''Love you …. Xx.''
