Rylan Clark shares difficult split details that left his mum thinking he had a stroke

Rylan Clark's mum feared her son had had a stroke after his marriage broke down. The BBC Radio 2 host spent months away from work and out of the limelight after his relationship with Dan Neal came to an end last year.

Rylan and Dan, who met via Big Brother, had been married for six years. Earlier this year, fans of the TV star saw him open up about his struggles in that period, admitting for the first time in his life he felt 'alone'.

"Or whether I would be able to do this job again. I’d got… quite ill. I went down to just over 9st and I’m 6ft 4in. It got bad. Like, very bad. And I didn’t think it would get better. I needed help… Everyone feels like I’m their mate. I was probably talking to five million people a night.
