TV favourite Rylan Clark-Neal separates from husband Dan after six years of marriage

TELLY and radio favourite Rylan Clark-Neal and husband Dan have separated after six years of marriage, The Sun can reveal.

Rylan, 32, has taken a break from his Radio 2 show and stepped away from hosting Eurovision in the wake of the decision.

Sources insist he will be back on air soon.

One said: “Rylan’s one of the most beloved people on TV so fans will be sad to hear what has happened.

“He often spoke of their relationship on air and they even co-hosted an episode of This Morning but unfortunately things haven’t worked out.

“They don’t want to discuss it in public and a bit of time off is probably for the best for now.

“It’s one of those things. All those close to them wish them all the best.”

Rylan first found fame as a contestant on The X Factor in 2012. He then became one of Britain’s most recognisable TV faces after winning Celebrity Big Brother in 2013.

The same year he met ex-Met Police detective Dan, who it is understood has moved out of their home to a rented flat in Essex.

Rylan interviewed him on Big Brother spin-off Big Brother’s Bit on the Side after contestant Dan was evicted.

Rylan has hosted on This Morning, Ready Steady Cook, Supermarket Sweep and Strictly spin-off It Takes Two — alongside a string of other screen appearances.

The source added: “Rylan’s a huge talent so obviously fans and TV execs are hoping to see him back on the airwaves soon.

“Dan’s very well liked among their friends so of course they all wish him the best too.” A spokeswoman for Rylan declined to comment.
