Rylan has said his weight plummeted to under 10 stone and that he became “unwell” after the collapse of his marriage.
The Strictly: It Takes Two presenter split from Dan Neal this year after six years of marriage, and took a long break from social media and the spotlight as he dealt with the breakdown of the relationship.
In a new interview, Rylan has shared the emotional and physical heartache he felt during the breakdown of his relationship.
He told The Sun: “I got ill and I lost weight, I went down to under ten stone – and I’m six feet four inches, so that’s not good.”
“The honest truth is that it’s been s***. I didn’t deal with what happened and now I am. I felt unwell and it was a very difficult time for me.”
Rylan said his mum was “a lifesaver” and that a new personal training and nutrition plan proved to be a bit of “therapy” for him.
He has now gained more than four stone and is feeling good about himself.
The 33-year-old said: “Getting fit and looking after my body has saved me. Fitness has given me a goal.”
Rylan said his new regime was a great distraction and also allowed him to “release a lot of emotion” in the wake of his marriage ending.
“It’s done more for my mental health than it has for my body, which is a crazy thing to say because you can physically see the body change,” he said.
