Poor Rylan Clark has insisted he’s resting up after revealing an extended stay in hospital this week.

The presenter shared a photo of himself hooked up for an IV on Friday morning, joking about his stay in ‘Costa del hospital’.

While he didn’t reveal why he had to make a dash to the docs, he did note he was ‘slowly on the mend’ and resting up as worried fans shared their get-well messages.

He wrote on Twitter: ‘Finally home after an extended trip to Costa del hospital. Slowly on the mend. Won’t be on the wireless tomorrow.

‘Resting up. Be back soon.’

Fans reached out to the presenter, with one writing: So glad to hear that you’re on the mend. Take your time to get better fully,’ as another added: ‘Aw im so sorry, sending you sooo much love.’

The beloved star recently revealed he was admitted to hospital after becoming ‘quite ill’ and fearing he wouldn’t be able to continue living following his marriage broke down last year.

The Strictly: It Takes Two presenter split from husband Dan Neal after six years of marriage. It prompted Rylan to take a four-month break from the spotlight to deal with the heartbreak but revealed things ‘very bad’.

Opening up to The Guardian’s Observer, Rylan explained: ‘I’d got to the point where I didn’t know if I wanted to come back. Or whether I would be able to do this job again. I’d got… quite ill.

‘I went down to just over 9st and I’m 6ft 4in. It got bad. Like, very bad. And I didn’t think it would get better. I needed help…

‘Everyone feels like I’m their mate. I was probably talking to five million people a night. But last summer for the first time, I literally felt alone.’
