Rylan Clark has revealed that he confided in close friends and showbiz 'step-parents' Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes during his battle with depression - which saw him hospitalised and attempt to take his own life. Describing the moment he saw the married couple as a 'wake-up call', the presenter admitted that he had 'never seen Eamonn that upset before'. The TV star, 33, has detailed his heartbreaking time in his new memoir Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future - which will be released at the end of the month.
In extracts of the book obtained by The Sun, the presenter explained how he stayed with his mother, Linda, for three months - following a stay in a private health facility. Following this, he returned to hospital for a week after taking a bad spell, which led to Linda secretly reaching out to Ruth and Eamonn. Dubbing them two of his closest friends in the industry, Rylan wrote: 'I remember how their faces looked when they saw me, seeing how badly ill I was, and then Eamonn became very upset.
I’d never seen Eamonn get upset like that before, and that was like a wake-up call. 'I remember thinking, "Do I look that ill? Am I that bad?" It was just awful. They stayed with me all that day.
'The star has previously admitted to Ruth and Eamonn being 'frightened' for him and 'shocked' at his fragile state. In the book, he sadly revealed that he planned on taking his own life during a stay at a psychiatric hospital so that Linda wouldn't find his body. It was revealed earlier this week that the presenter felt he 'couldn't carry on anymore' after his ex-husband Dan left him when Rylan told him he had cheated during the relationship.
