Rylan Clark gets emotional about single status nine months after split from husband

Rylan Clark has opened up about being single in a candid tweet he posted in the early hours of the morning.

The BBC Radio 2 star, 33, had enjoyed a night out with friends, but told his followers something was missing.

Reflecting on his evening, Rylan mused: "Ever have a night out where u have a really good night with friends... However on the way home u sit and think, would much rather a night in with Netflix and someone u care about... yeah that babe."

The presenter spilt from his husband Dan Neal, 42, last year in a break-up which saw the much-loved star needing to take time off work.

The Strictly: It Takes Two host blamed himself for the break-up, but Rylan's fans told him getting back out there was the only way to move on.

Replying to his candid tweet, one said: ""You need to go out to see your friends and who knows on one of those nights you might meet the one. Try not to be sad xxx"

While another promised: "It'll come - but the only way it will is when you're feeling your self again. So you need those nights out with friends. Take your time darling. xxxx"

After the break-up, Rylan admitted he spiralled into 'dangerously dark thoughts', which saw him end up in hospital.

Speaking to the Observer, he said: "I didn’t think I’d be here. I didn’t think I could continue.” Could continue to work, I ask, or to live? “Both. I didn’t think I’d actually come back. I was very… gone.”

"I was having thoughts and doing things that made me… f**ked up, for want of a better word. I didn’t understand why I was doing that to myself. So, I went away for a bit.” To hospital? “Yes. For safety reasons.

“Strange situations do very strange things to people. If it wasn’t for my mum, and my family and close friends I genuinely have no idea if I’d be here.”

Thankfully Rylan is back on track and busy with his presenting gigs, which his fans love him for.

And as the nation's sweetheart tries to get on with his life, so does Dan, who has reportedly set up a profile on Tinder.

Flashing his muscles in a shirtless snap, the Big Brother star poses the question: "What is love?" in his Tinder bio, in screenshots obtained by The Sun.
