What happened to Rylan before his BBC breakdown?

The Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two presenter had been struggling with a tough few months after his marriage ended.

The 32-year-old and husband Dan Neal called time on their six-year marriage in June.

In a statement at the time Rylan admitted to making several ‘mistakes’.

He said: “Following reports about Dan and I spending time apart, I feel I have to speak out – as the way it is being reported is unfair.

“I have made a number of mistakes which I deeply regret and have inevitably led to the breakdown of our marriage. “

The Sun reported that BBC bosses had urged him to take year off work instead of just a few weeks.
