RYLAN left Rob Rinder in tears as he opened up about the fallout from his divorce.
Both of the legendary TV stars have seen their respective marriages break down in recent years.
The duo have found solace in completing a TV project together, Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour which airs on BBC Two.
In the new BBC show, they retrace the steps of the Grand Tourists as they seek to move on with their lives.
The first episode sees the duo take to the streets of Venice as they discover one of the largest works of art in the world.
Whilst the former Judge Rinder personality attempts to conduct an orchestra, his co-presenter explores the hidden side of the city.
The pair enjoyed a drink as they soaked up the sun and the delightful scenery.
“I think it was a culmination of my marriage breaking down and actually me stopping for the first time in 10 years.
“Then, all of a sudden, I hit quite a big speed bump instead of carrying on, I just sunk.
“It was the worst experience of my life. I just went on a downward spiral. I tried to end it, I tried to finish myself off.
“I didn’t eat, I went down to 9st. I’m 6ft 4 Rob, like I look[ed] horrendous.”
The former Big Brother‘s Bit On The Side host then got emotional as he admitted he would give up all his fame and success if it meant his mum would not have been put through the stress of seeing him unwell.
Rob, 45, then opened up on his own divorce as he also started to get emotional.
With teary eyes, he explained: “I was once so in love when I was in my early twenties, but it wasn’t reciprocated. And it never has been.”
Rylan, 35, couldn’t help but attempt to try and console his co-star as they sought comfort in their life experiences.
“Do you know what, Rob? We’re here once, we’ve been through quite a lot of stuff,” he said.
The former X Factor competitor added, “What’s it taught us? Nothing’s forever unless its right,” as Rob wiped away his tears.
Rylan was married to former Big Brother housemate Dan Neal, 44 for six years from 2015 until 2021.
But the Celebrity Big Brother said that he’s absolutely determined to move on: “This trip for me is part of my restart in life.
“I’m 34 and I’m young enough to start again, when it comes down to my personal life.
He added: “I’ve got no limits now, nothing phases me. I’m willing to try anything or anyone.”
