Rylan Clark news: ‘Well, clearly I’m mad’

Appearing on Jamie Laing’s Great Company pod, Rylan explained he thought he’d “lost his mind” at one point.

He said: “I lost my speech. I lost my vision for a little bit, like it was all really just… it was like having a really bad stroke. It was just so bizarre. And yeah, it took me months to go back to work.”

Rylan, who indicated he “needed to reset” himself, added: “I thought I was crazy. Well, I was, because the only explanation is going to be – ‘I’ve lost my mind’. So when you stop believing something, you become it. So I was, like: ‘Well, clearly, I’m mad. Clearly, I’m unwell. Clearly, I’m not right.'”

He continued: “You need to learn to be on your own before you’re fully happy with someone else. And all of this, all of these things you think [blank] off.
