Rylan Clark has set the record straight after rumours emerged that he was engaged.
The TV favourite split from husband Dan Neal back in June 2021, with Rylan accepting responsibility for the end of their romance. He also revealed that he was hospitalised twice following the break-up.
So is he seeing someone new, and should we be buying a hat? He’s set the record straight…
Is Rylan Clark engaged?
Rylan took to Twitter earlier today (June 30) to confirm his relationship status. And we hope you’ve kept the receipt if you have rushed out to buy a hat…
He said: “Someone just congratulated me on the street….. To clarify I am not engaged to @RobbieRinder.” Rylan went on to add: “He just likes wine. Thanks.”
Judge Rinder star Rob replied with a laughing emoji, before retweeting Rylan’s denial with a message of his own: “Being in a state of denial is a universally human response to situations which threaten to overwhelm.”
