Stephen then asked if Rylan felt any kind of responsibility to represent g@y marriage, as one of the few LGBTQ+ celebrities.
He asked: ‘But did you feel also that – when it broke up and you were div0rced – did you feel that there was in some sense you were letting down the idea of g@y marriage, because we have a duty to show that our marriages are as robust and strong as any heteros3xual?’
Rylan said: ‘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 found publicly on behalf of – the g@ys! You know, I’m not, I’m not ‘head g@y’, it’s not that.’
Stephen reassured: ‘No, you’re not, exactly. You’re not a poster child for g@yness.’
Rylan continued: ‘But you do feel like, yeah I’m going to get married, I want to get married, I can get married.
‘But when it doesn’t work out you don’t want people to go, “you see that’s why they f****** shouldn’t get married”.’
Stephen was quick to insist: ‘You can get married again if you want…’, causing Rylan to hint at his div0rce struggles as he quipped: ‘Yeah with a prenup this time, I’m not going through that again.’

After he revealed that he had been unfaithful, Dan eventually ended the relationship after the heart-wrenching confession.
Following the heartbreak and the deterioration of his marriage, Rylan had su1c1dal th0ughts and his weight dropped to just nine stone.
He opened up about these challenging times in his second autobiography, TEN: The Decade That Changed My Future.
In the book, he penned a candid reflection and said: ‘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 s3x 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.’
