He revealed in his book that he was ‘unfaithful’ to his ex, Dan Neal, which resulted in his mental health deteriorating.
Now, extracts of Rylan’s book have been revealed in The Sun.
During one part, he discussed the moment his mum secretly arranged for Eamonn and Ruth – who he calls “two of my closest friends in this industry” – to come and see him.
Rylan said that after his split from his ex, he “felt I couldn’t carry on no more”.
Rylan’s marriage breakdown
He also revealed that his mum and big brother Jamie as well as his managers “arranged for me to go to a mental health hospital”.
When he was “let out”, Rylan said he returned to his mum Linda’s house where he spent “three months laid up, hiding from the world”.
He continued: “During this time, Mum secretly arranged for Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford to come and see me. They are two of my closest friends in this industry – well, almost step-parents really.
“I remember how their faces looked when they saw me, seeing how badly ill I was, and then Eamonn became very upset. I’d never seen Eamonn get upset like that before, and that was like a wake-up call.”
He added: “I remember thinking, ‘Do I look that ill? Am I that bad?’ It was just awful. They stayed with me all that day.”

Speaking to The Sun in April of this year, Rylan said: “There was a point when I was really, really bad when I went back to my house that I’d moved out of.
“I hadn’t been there for so long because I didn’t feel comfortable.
“My mum and sister-in-law were acting really weird and I didn’t know why. Next thing, Eamonn and Ruth turned up and I just broke down.”
