"What was right for me was to disappear to get bad, to feel s**t, to lose myself.

"I didn’t want to that, but it happened.

"I get a lot of messages from people saying they’re going through a break-up or a divorce and I usually think I wish I can help you, but I can’t."

Despite his heart ache, the TV presenter has tried to see the positive in what has happened to him.

Rylan added: "It’s only now all these months on that I can sit there and go that I’m glad I’ve been through that in a real f***** up way because I know I will never let myself let anyone let me feel like that.
