Rylan Clark 'inspires' fans as he does 'something he never thought he would'

Rylan Clark fans felt 'inspired' after he shared a new accomplishment in his life.

The former X Factor star took to Instagram to share a montage video of a trip to Barcelona. In the caption he explained that he had done 'something he never thought he would'.

The trip was the first time that the TV personality had ever been abroad alone, at 33 years old. He explained that he was "learning to be comfortable with his own company".

The text in full read: " For the first time in my life, at 33, I did something I never thought I would, I went abroad… by myself. I was nervous but I did it, sometimes you’ve just got to look after yourself.

"A few days of no one, and nothing, just me. Learning to be comfortable with my own company. Thank you Barcelona."

The clip showed Rylan boarding a British Airways plane as he jetted off to sunny Spain. While there he appeared to enjoy some of the nightlife, travelled on a train, enjoyed the sights and caught some rays. He had a few drinks as he took a trip to the beach before flying back home.

Fans took to the comments as they branded him an inspiration. Abbie said: "Since being on my own all I've wanted to do is travel and with nobody to do that with I've battled as to whether to go on my own. I'm a bit older at 35 and feeling like I can't do anything unless it's with someone. Every time I go to book something I get scared and stop myself. You've inspired me."

Adele said: "Well done you, empowering isn't it? World is your oyster now" Gary said: "It's inspiring." Meanwhile, Alex said: "Wish I was as brave as you!!!"
