I was also puzzled by a little comment on p.12 - Rylan claims he has never been a heavy drinker, despite spending a lot of book one and some of book two getting absolutely hammered. Unless he has a spectacularly weak tolerance for alcohol, this doesn't really make a lot of sense. What’s the point?’ I thought. I’d lost what I thought was everything, the one thing I always wanted. A man I loved. A family of my own. And now it was gone. Really really enjoyed this book. I mean what’s not to like…it’s Rylan ! He was my bedtime pleasure and kept me awake as he lay next to me garrulously chatting away about his life. I didn’t want to put him down.

It was quite refreshing to read an autobiography that was so blunt and raw. Being diagnosed with GAD, I know how difficult it must have been to write such an honest book following his (fairly) recent breakdown. I knew it wasn’t right. It turned out that my heart had to be restarted. I remember laying in resus and I had all these pads on with all these wires and not understanding what it was,” he said.During one part, he discussed the moment his mum secretly arranged for Eamonn and Ruth – who he calls “two of my closest friends in this industry”– to come and see him. Rylan said his mum, Linda, arranged for Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford to visit him (Credit: ITV) He has obviously gone through a hard time separating from his husband, although it sounds like he is better off without him in his life, and I hope he finds the happiness he deserves! I loved this. Audio version obviously. Made all the more special by Rylan’s mum Linda, Clare from steps, his sister in law, his friend and make up artist and his tv mum Ruth writing/reading their own little sections.

Quite refreshing to read an honest account of what it's like to seek fame as a career, the highs and lows which come with it, including the effect the breakdown of his marriage had upon his mental health. When he was “let out”, Rylan said he returned to his mum Linda’s house where he spent “three months laid up, hiding from the world”. Speaking to Claudia, the It Takes Two star said the split had more than just an effect on his mental health.I'd have liked it to be less superficial, the chapter where he talked about politics (although not giving any opinion of his own due to BBC commitments) was interesting and showed a deeper side to him that I would have liked to have seen more of throughout the book. I would also like to have read more about his time in the Big Brother house as I felt that chapter skimmed over his own experiences a little. He also revealed that his mum and big brother Jamie as well as his managers “arranged for me to go to a mental health hospital”. Appearing on The One Show tonight, Rylan said: "It was really difficult writing what I had to write and revisiting a time that I never thought would be part of my life.

But Rylan comes across as a nice guy who’s been through some shit recently with the breakdown of his marriage. I think he has a bit more healing to do and I think he might have written this too soon. I love a memoir that goes behind what I’ve seen but in a different way (in this case, Big Brother, X Factor) and he certainly shares the gossip. He does a lot of name dropping and parts I feel like he thinks he can do no wrong but that’s not a criticism, it’s positive affirmation like that that will help him through the bad times. Funny and outspoken, Rylan is one of the UK's most-loved presenters and a true household name. Rylan first emerged on our screens in September 2012 and in the ten years since then has become a one-of-a-kind national treasure. I'm no big Reality show fan (though did watch the early Big Brother series') and most of my exposure to Rylan has been through Eurovision. I'd started a few books recently and just not been able to get into any, so this was an ideal easy Kindle Daily Deal read.The star revealed that he didn’t just get mentally ill after his split – he got physically ill too. Instead, the 33-year-old chose not to reveal the most painful details from his failed marriage, which left him battling with his mental health last year. There will be stuff that you know [Alex Jones] that isn't in the book but it's my book and this is my responsibility and it's on me. Takes approximately 1-3 working days to arrive, (but can take longer during busy periods like bank holidays or Pride Month) Rylan made a sad confession last year (Credit: ITV) Rylan Clark talks health battle following split

But I actually learnt to be alright on my own and I think that was a really important lesson I needed to learn at the age of 33, which is quite late for some people.’ He tried to come across as someone relatable and yet I couldn't fathom that whilst he talks about his and his mum's mansions. Yes, he's worked hard to be where he is now and I applaud him for that but once you're able to build your dream house and buy your mum a house, you have to realise that you lose some of that relatability to non-famous people. Speaking about the split at the time, Rylan said: “I have made a number of mistakes which I deeply regret and have inevitably led to the breakdown of our marriage.”

My mum and sister-in-law were acting really weird and I didn’t know why. Next thing, Eamonn and Ruth turned up and I just broke down.” MORE : Rylan Clark ‘not giving up’ on finding love again after devastating divorce: ‘I’ve learnt to get a prenup’ Despite the difficulties he’s faced, Rylan is optimistic about his romantic future, and has every intention of finding love again.
