Rylan Clark leaves Rob Rinder in tears as he admits 'I tried to end it all' in fallout from divorce. The duo are completing a TV project together, Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour which airs on BBC Two.
As their first show together, Rob & Rylan’s Grand Tour, aired on BBC 2 on Sunday night, This Morning host Rylan Clark posted a message urging viewers to tune in, saying, ‘This man has become family to me’.
On paper their personalities are poles apart though - Rob's a cultured and erudite criminal lawyer while Rylan’s a Eurovision presenter and former X Factor semi-finalist. Pictured in Rome on tour On screen we see Rob and Rylan follow the most famous Grand Tourist of all, Romantic poet Lord Byron, on the 200th anniversary of his death.
Rylan, 35, who was married to ex-Met detective and reality star Dan Neal for five years before they split in 2021, says they bonded easily. Rylan jokes ‘the nearest I’ve got to classical music is when Pete Tong did Ibiza dance tunes with an orchestra’, but nevertheless he throws himself into the culture with a passion.
They also dress up in drag to walk through the Venetian streets and become models in a semi-nude life art class. In Florence they visit the Duomo, the cathedral. ‘I started to realise I would’ve loved to have been an architect,’ says Rylan. ‘I was lucky enough to design and build my own house. A building isn’t just something standing there – it’s a living thing. To understand how the Duomo was created over 150 years with a succession of architects was incredible.’
‘All of a sudden I hit quite a big speed bump, but instead of carrying on, I crashed. It was the worst experience of my life. I just went on a downward spiral. I tried to end it. I tried to finish myself off. I didn’t eat. I went down to 9st – and I’m 6ft 4in! I looked horrendous. My 70-year-old mum had to watch her successful son literally disintegrate.
