Rylan Clark says 'I actually got pretty worried' as he shares intimate confession
Rylan Clark has opened up about his sex life and relationships, admitting he has a 'worry' when it comes to being intimate with someone after the breakdown of his marriage Rylan Clark has opened up about a personal "worry" following the end of his marriage, revealing how it's affected his approach to new relationships. The BBC Radio 2 presenter parted ways with his ex-husband, Dan Neal, in 2021. This revelation comes after Rylan admitted to being unfaithful earlier in their relationship. Despite acknowledging that the split was "the right thing to happen," he admits to experiencing a "full-on breakdown" post-separation. Now, the one-time X Factor contestant is dipping his toes back into the dating pool—yet he's noticed a significant shift in his feelings toward intimacy with other men. On his podcast How to Be in Love, Rylan, 36, shared: "I have found that, since the breakdown of my marriage, if I've gone on any dates or started seeing people, when I've had sex with them, I lose interest pretty quickly." He continued, expressing his concerns: "I actually got pretty worried about a year or two ago because I thought, hang on a minute, I don't remember this from BM—I call it, before marriage. I don't remember having sex with someone, or orgasming with someone, climaxing, and then after that thinking, 'Oh, I'm just not bothered now'." Neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart weighed in on Rylan's situation, suggesting that the emotional trauma from his marriage could be influencing his current feelings post-intimacy. She responded: "So now that you've put it like that—with the BM—that probably, because you were so hurt, something has changed for you." The former Celebrity Big Brother champ shared his fears about commitment, saying: "I did worry for a long time that, almost like I was frightened to commit or open myself fully to someone, because going through a break-up is quite hard." Rylan has been open about feeling like a "failure" following his divorce. In a heart-to-heart with ex-Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, he confessed: "When I went through my divorce, I had a full-on breakdown because it wasn't just us." He continued, revealing the weight of public perception: "It felt like it wasn't just us, even though it was just me and my ex. I felt that everyone's going to think this of me. Everyone's going to think, 'Oh look, his life isn't perfect. Oh look, he's failed like that.' I just felt like a failure." In a candid chat with Stephen Fry, Rylan expressed how he grappled with the public scrutiny during his split, admitting: "There was part of me that just felt like a complete and utter failure. I felt like I'd failed personally, but I felt like I'd failed publicly on behalf of—the gays! You know, I'm not, I'm not 'head gay', it's not that." Looking ahead to future romance, Rylan opened up in his autobiography, TEN: The Decade That Changed My Future, where he reflects: "I got in a relationship quite young and just went with it. Now I know I'm my own person. I'm not going to settle for something that's not right. In a way, it's been a bit of a gift. "I'm happy to have sex with someone and that's that, that's not a problem. But do I want more? Of course I want more. Am I going to enjoy myself on the way? Abso-f***ing-lutely."

Radio 2's Zoe Ball shares love life insight as she says one gesture 'properly made me cry'
Zoe Ball and fellow radio star Jo Whiley were reflecting on the best presents they have been given during a conversation on their new Dig It! podcast Zoe Ball admits she 'properly cried' at a thoughtful gesture from someone 'special' to her. BBC Radio 2 star Zoe made the admission while considering the best gifts she has given and received. On the Dig It podcast, fellow presenter Jo Whiley explained the best present her husband Steve Morton has ever given her was a replica of her first car. She explained the baby blue Renault 4 was 'exactly the same' as the one she had as a youngster. It led Zoe to say the 'only thing' about buying such a gift is that it sets the bar so high. However she recalled one touching present she received from 'someone she adores' that brought her to tears. She said: 'Someone special to me took all of the messages and some of the things we'd sent each other and put them into a book and this book is bound, it is so beautiful, it properly made me cry. It's like, 'Oh my goodness me, you've captured all those lovely early messages', and there's funny things, there's moving things and it is beautifully bound and it is on the shelf next to two books of poetry. 'It's such a special thing and just between the two of us and I was like, 'Wow'. But then, follow that! How do you follow that? Go low, go with the chopping board and then build up.' Co-host Jo Wiley called the gift a 'mic drop' moment. She added: 'Photobooks I think are really good but that is next level, it really is.' Back in May Zoe made her return to Radio 2, six months after stepping away from her popular breakfast show. The early morning slot was instead over by former Radio 1 star Scott Mills. Zoe said it was "time to step away from the very early mornings and focus on family" after the death of her mother Julia. Announcing the new show, Helen Thomas, head of Radio 2, said: 'Zoe is one of the UK's most loved presenters, so I'm thrilled to announce that she has a new home on Radio 2 on Saturday lunchtimes, plus she'll be hosting various specials for us throughout the year.' Last year Zoe is also said to have sold her £2 million home in rural Sussex and moved to a townhouse in Brighton and Hove, closer to where her ex-husband Norman Cook, known professionally as Fatboy Slim, lives. Zoe and Norman are both said to have taken up hobbies such as gardening, with Norman also opening the Big Beach Cafe in picturesque Hove. Their son, Woody, told MailOnline: 'In the last five years, it's been funny watching my parents take up gardening both of them. 'These crazy party people I grew up with are now gardening, making puzzles and working in the local café. It's very funny to see that transitional period, just as I'm kind of leaving the nest and now at the start of something big for me in music.' Zoe and ex-husband Norman started dating while he was a DJ and she presented on BBC Radio 1. They married in 1999. They announced their separation in 2016. The former couple share grown-up children Woody and Nelly together.
