Overview
- Rylan Clark, who appeared on ITV’s The Assembly on Sunday, admitted he cheated on his then-husband Dan Neal and said he believes honesty was the right choice despite the harm it caused.
- He described the end of his marriage in 2021 as triggering a severe breakdown that left him suicidal and forced him to move back in with his mother to recover.
- Clark told interviewers he no longer thinks about his ex-husband, said he does not regret his choices, and revealed he is now in a relationship with Kennedy Bates after going public in January.
- When asked about friends being 'cancelled' Clark said the experience is 'really tough,' urged people not to accept everything they read at face value, and expressed concern that some cancellations happen for the sake of it.
- The episode used neurodivergent interviewers to press direct questions, drew an emotional public response, and was reported in the context of recent media fallout over Scott Mills’s BBC dismissal earlier this year.
