“You think when you get the divorce papers you’ll be doing cartwheels and going, ‘Yes!’
“But it isn’t like that. When you get them you just feel sad, and quite empty. It’s so odd.”
He added: “I didn’t have a breakdown, no. I don’t want to say I did, because I didn’t.
“But I think comedy probably stopped me having a breakdown.”

“I’ve stayed out of it, ignored it, but this is ridiculous. I’m not in a relationship, haven’t been for over a year and have no intention to.
“I’m looking after myself for a change and it’s staying that way. Hopefully this clears any fabricated stories up the past few weeks and to whoever is ‘selling’ them……”
His PR agency also said: “In light of recent made up stories, we, nor Rylan wish to comment on his private life.
“However on this occasion we feel we need to. There is absolutely no truth to this story or the many others stories that have run about this apparent ‘relationship’ in the past few weeks.
“Rylan is single and lives on his own. Any reports to the contrary are completely fabricated, @carverpr_.”
