According to Daily Star, the much-loved TV presenter revealed that it was so severe he lost his speech and vision for some time.

This Morning’s presenter, who is set to make a return to screens shared in an exclusive interview: "I lost my speech. I lost my vision for a little bit... It was like having a really bad stroke. It was just so bizarre."

Rylan’s mental health took a down turn following his split from Neal in 2021, which came shortly after he was positioned fifth on series 9 of The X Factor.

As per The Mirror, the TV presenter didn’t go for a break until his marriage suffered, leading to a suicide attempt and visiting psychiatric hospital for care.

Rehashing the painful experience, the 34-year-old star reflected: "It took me months to go back to work. I think I was off for like four or five months. And I rarely would have four hours off, let alone f***ing four months."

He said it was crucial to “start again” and “reset” his life.
