Rylan Clark-Neal’s fans might want to have a seat while reading this, especially if you’re expecting him back on This Morning anytime soon.
The 29-year-old TV presenter has told Now magazine that he doesn’t know when he will return to the TV show.
Noooooooo, say it isn’t so Ry!
He told the magazine: “I will go back, but I just don’t know when – although I have to admit, it’s been very nice not having to get up at 6am every day!”
“I love This Morning, and the guys have been so good to me.”
Referring to why he was taking time out he said: “I’m looking forward to having a little bit of time off, and having a personal life and a bit of normality.”

The former reality TV star announced his departure from This Morning just before Christmas, and ended the year having to fight off rumours that he hadn’t been sacked. (As if!)
Even This Morning host Eamonn Holmes couldn’t resist pulling Rylan’s leg during his last few days on the show.
When Rylan joined Eamonn and his wife Ruth Langsford for one of his usual showbiz slots, Eamonn said: “Four more sleeps until you’re history!”
“I’m not history!” argued Rylan. “I’m having a little break!”
Eamonn replied: “Are you going or were you sacked?”
Laughing, Rylan played along with the joke: “I’ve been sacked! I’ve had too many complaints that my teeth are giving too much of a glare in the morning.”
As we all know, the TV presenter has been busy with Celebrity Big Brother’s Little Brother show, and he was also presenting another show earlier in January called The Wave.

He’s just taking some time away from the craziness of This Morning in the New Year to focus on other projects.
He said: “I’m working on a few things business wise that I’ve been building for the last couple of years.”
And let’s face it, we all need a bit of time out every now and then. But that doesn’t stop his fans missing his cheery face on This Morning:
Ah, don’t worry everyone the white-toothed wonder will be back before you know it!
