Rylan Clark-Neal has reportedly broken up from his husband Dan Neal.

The pair are said to have called time on their relationship, which started after they met through their Big Brother connection.

The split comes after fans voiced their concern after Rylan pulled out of hosting Eurovision due to illness, and went silent on social media.

He’s also been absent from his BBC Radio 2 show for several weeks.

‘They don’t want to discuss it in public and a bit of time off is probably for the best for now,’ a source told The Sun.

‘It’s one of those things. All those close to them wish them all the best.’
Here’s everything you need to know about Rylan and Dan’s relationship.

Telling the journalist he ‘saw a Tweet saying, “Rylan’s getting married today”‘, he added: ‘It turned out to be a guest at the wedding had told the press to get a payout.
