Rylan Clark revealed the frightening extent of the breakdown he suffered amid his divorce from his husband of six years, Dan Neal.
Clark and Neal got married in 2015, and last July the It Takes Two presenter announced that the pair had separated on Instagram.
During his An Evening With Rylan Clark event at London Royal Festival Hall on Wednesday (21 September), Clark told the audience he’d suffered two heart failures amid the breakdown of his marriage.
“It was like my body had shut down. Twice last year I ended up back in an ambulance because my heart had failed and it was really strange because I just remember for a couple of weeks going, ‘My heart hurts’,” the former X Factor contestant said, per Metro.
Clark reportedly told the audience that he had a resting heart rate of 248 beats per minute at the time.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has received a letter signed by 50 of Britain’s biggest stars, including Dame Judi Dench, Brian May Cbe, Leona Lewis, Gary Lineker OBE, James Arthur, Thandie Newton OBE, Alesha Dixon, Ricky Gervais, Mollie King and Dame Twiggy Lawson, urging him to implement a UK ban on the sale of real animal fur.
Animal protection organisation Humane Society International/UK which leads the #FurFreeBritain campaign in collaboration with other animal charities, is hopeful that a 2021 ban is possible now that the Brexit transition is completed.
Fur farming was banned in Britain almost two decades ago in 2003 as it was deemed too cruel. But since then Britain has imported more than £800 million worth of fur from countries including Finland, China, France and Poland, where animals experience severe suffering and distress on fur farms. This is a double standard that needs to end.

Mary Bekhait has been appointed group CEO of European talent powerhouse Ymu.
Bekhait, who will assume her new position on Jan. 1, steps up from her current role as U.K. CEO. Neil Rodford, the current group CEO, will step down on Dec. 31 after 20 years with the company. He will become chairman of the newly-founded subsidiary Ymu Ventures.

Pete Wicks trapped and bloody in new charity campaign to ban fur
An estimated more than 100 million animals are killed every year for the fur trade. Most endure a life of deprivation and suffering on fur farms where they spend their lives in small, barren, wire cages. Other animals like coyotes are trapped in the wild. Once caught, these animals can languish in agony in cruel traps for hours or even days before being shot and killed when the trapper returns. Animals have been known to die from dehydration, starvation or attacks by predators, or even to gnaw off their own limb in an effort to escape.
