Rylan Clark got candid in yesterday's (September 29) episode of The One Show while discussing his upcoming memoir, revealing how the breakdown of his marriage impacted his mental health.
Talking about his book Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future, Rylan explained to hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp why he chose to start the book by talking about the end of his marriage to ex-husband Dan Neal.
Asked by Roman how hard it was to be so open and honest in the chapter, Rylan replied: "It was harder writing about it than actually living it which is obviously quite strange. There was things that I was going to put in the book that obviously I didn't from a legal point of view."

"Not that it was anything salacious," he continued. "Just things like I would receive a text saying x, y, z and the legal team would be like 'can you just show us that text so we can prove it if ever...?' and I was like 'sure' and just scrolling back, 'I can't do this', so I took it out because I didn't want to live it.
"I got so ill last year that I don't need to do that."
Fans watching the show were quick to praise Rylan for his honesty in talking about his health.
@Rylan just watched you on the one show, and you are amazing. You have had a bad year with all you went through. On a positive you got through it and you look amazing. I’m going to buy the book tomorrow. Sending love #TheOneShow
