Rylan Clark made a confession about his love life after splitting from his husband. The TV presenter, 35, opened up to close friend Rob Rinder while filming their show, Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour.
The BBC series follows the close friends as they journey through Italy, retracing the steps of the Grand Tourists of the past. During one episode, Rylan revealed he was dating again, but had only been out twice since splitting from Dan Neal after six years of marriage in 2021.
Sitting in a bar with the Good Morning Britain star, 46, Rylan discussed how the breakdown of his marriage led to an extremely low point in his life.
“I think it was a culmination of my marriage breaking down and actually me stopping for the first time in 10 years,” he said. “Then all of a sudden I had quite a big speed bump, and instead of carrying on I just sank. It was the worst experience of my life.”
Rylan recalled: “I just went on a downward spiral. I tried to end it. I tried to finish myself off. I didn’t eat, I went down to nine stone. I’m six foot four. Rob, I looked horrendous. I’m so grateful for what I’ve got.
“I come from a council house. Like, I’m not saying we were on the breadline because we were not on the breadline, but we didn’t have a lot.”
Explaining how it affected his mother, Linda, Rylan added: “But in those moments and even to this day, if I had to give it all up, to not have to put my mum through what I put her through when I got ill? Fine, take it. It was horrendous. She’s a 70 year old woman. And she had to watch her successful son literally disintegrate.”
The chemistry between Rob and Rylan was undeniable, but this is simply because the TV stars are such good friends. On Thursday (July 4), the duo attended Soho House Festival and went on stage to introduce Sophie Ellis-Bextor to the audience.
Sharing a snap from backstage, Rob added the caption: “Introducing @sophieellisbextor to the crowd at House Festival alongside the far better half @rylan.”
Fans rushed to the comments as they all said the same thing about Rob and Rylan’s close bond. “Have a brilliant time, you two are fabulous,” gushed one person. Another declared: “My fave duo.”
A third wrote: “You two are everything.” Another echoed: “You both need to start loads more shows together, talk show, travel show, fabulous dynamic duo mark 2.”
Agreeing, someone else commented: “Blinkin love you two together and love you as individuals.”
