Rylan Clark has revealed his heart stopped twice and had to be restarted by doctors after the breakdown of his marriage.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star, 33, was reportedly rushed to hospital when his heart failed and had to be given an injection to keep him alive. His health problems came amid a difficult time for the TV presenter, when his six-year marriage to husband Dan Neal broke down and he was forced to take a five-month break from work.
Speaking at London’s Royal Festival Hall to promote the launch of his new book Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future, Rylan said: “Twice last year I ended up in the back of an ambulance because my heart failed. I just remember the shot going in and all of a sudden this feeling from the middle of your body, both ways, almost takes you over, and you just stop and my heart stopped.
