RYLAN Clark was left squirming on The Assembly when he was asked a question about cheating on his ex husband, Dan Neal.
The hit ITV show sees famous faces take to the hotseat and answer unfiltered questions.
Completely caught off-guard, Rylan was asked: “When you told your husband you cheated on him, he divorced you. Is honesty always the best policy?”
He managed to keep his composure enough to answer the question, but clearly didn’t expect to be asked something so forward.
He responded with “oh wow” before adding: “Yeah, I think it is.
“I’m okay admitting I’m in the wrong, because actually I don’t deal well with guilt and I don’t deal well with secrets.
“It made me so ill, like so ill. It sounds a terrible thing to say, but I’m glad it happened.”
Rylan was then asked what he misses the most about Dan, to which he swiped: “Do you know, I never think of him.”
He continued: “So, this is like, my whole body just went [tense]. I miss feeling like I’ve got it all.
“I thought I had life done – I’ve got the job, I’ve got the family, I’ve got the marriage, I’ve got the car, I’ve got the house.
“I thought I had it sussed. I didn’t have anything sussed. I didn’t know what was a real relationship, and I can look back now and know that I don’t regret anything.
“I don’t regret anything, so I’ll leave that up to your imagination.”
Speaking to a make-up artist during a break from filming for the programme, Rylan shared a bit more about how the split from Dan impacted him.
The star said: “I’m so glad I did this. But yeah, [the] Dan questions, I was like [surprised] – I don’t even say his name.
“When my marriage ended, you know that term when someone says, ‘To pull the rug from under you?’
“That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s like someone went like that and I fell over, and I couldn’t get back up. [It was] like I broke both my arms and legs.
“I thought I wasn’t going to get out of it. I went back to live with my mum because I didn’t want to be in my house, because there were too many memories of things in there.”
Rylan and Dan tied the knot in 2015 after two years of dating, then parted ways in 2021.
In January, Rylan went public with his new partner, Kennedy Bates.
