Rylan Clark has revealed what he’s looking for in a life partner as he opened up about his ‘secret single behaviour’ after his divorce from ex-husband Dan Neal.

On what he’s looking for in a partner, the star explained: ‘I want two things out of someone. One is that you make me laugh and don’t make me cry.
‘And the other one is when I walk in to the house, or you walk into the house, you ask me or I ask you, “how was your day?”’
Rylan went on to open up about his behaviour when he’s single, revealing: ‘For the past few years, I have been on my own, in the sense of living on my own, which is something I’ve never done in my entire life.

And now in a new episode of his new podcast How to Be in Love, Rylan joined agony aunt and psychotherapist Philippa Perry to talk about love and life.
‘But I have got to the point where I’ve got my ‘SSB’, my Secret Single Behaviour, where I might talk to the coffee machine in the morning and go, “of course you want me to empty the drip trays!”
‘You know, it winds me up, but I will say it out loud. Some people might think I’m unwell.
‘I’m not, it’s my Secret Single Behaviour.’
Since his divorce, Rylan has been open about his dating life, or rather, the lack thereof, and has revealed that he has been on only two dates in the past two years.
As for the reason for that, he said ‘there is a bit of an issue’ with dating in the digital age.
He explained: ‘nowadays it’s all digital, and I find myself falling into this trap of talking to people, never meeting them’.
Asked if the perfect person exists, Philippa replied: ‘No, they do not exist. What there is, is good raw material’.
Rylan previously revealed his own inf1del1ty during his marriage with Dan caused the downfall of their relationship.

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.’
