 Rylan Clark made a heartbreaking confession to Busted's Matt Willis about his darkest thoughts during his depression. The TV presenter is often seen as a bubbly personality, marrying gimps in comedy skits and recreating celebrity selfies for fun. However, Rylan has also shared his struggles with his mental health, especially following his divorce from husband of six years Dan Neal. Last year, mum Linda confessed the 34-year-old had begun sleeping in her bed for comfort in his depression. Rylan appears to be much happier now but he opened up on Matt Willis' podcast about how dark things had really gotten during that low period. 'I am so strong, I am so so strong but I was so broken, like to the point where I physically couldn't dress, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do none of these things,' he said during the new episode of On The Mend with Matt Willis. Rylan has been open about his mental health collapse (Picture: David M.

Rylan shared: 'I tried to, to end it a few times unsuccessfully – gratefully now. 'But I just remember going to sleep at night after doing nothing all day, living at my mums, frightened to leave the house, didn't want anyone to see me – and I think that's the fame side of stuff.' In a harrowing confession, Rylan continued: 'And I would pray that I wouldn't wake up because then it wouldn't be my fault.' Rylan has spent time 'rebuilding' himself after his breakdown, which he added there were no warning signs for, he just stopped functioning. During his Cairngorm Comic Relief challenge earlier this year, he spoke about how his life changed over the last few years.
