Rylan Clark Admits Cheating Ended 2021 Marriage and Warns on Cancel Culture

His pre-broadcast interview frames honesty, mental-health recovery and public accountability as central to how celebrities are judged.

Overview

  • Clark says he confessed to being unfaithful, which he identifies as the cause of his six-year marriage ending in 2021.
  • He described a severe post-divorce breakdown that saw him move back in with his mother and recover through small steps, using a story about relearning to make a cup of tea as an example.
  • Clark told questioners he believes honesty is best, that admitting his wrongdoing made him "so ill," and that he can now look back with "no regrets."
  • He warned against rushing to judge public figures, saying cancellations are "really tough," that people who have done wrong should face consequences, and that audiences should "not always believe what you read."
  • The interview was recorded for ITV's The Assembly, a series where autistic and neurodivergent questioners press public figures, and the episode is due to air on ITV1 and ITVX at 10pm on Sunday, May 24, and Clark is publicly dating Kennedy Bates.
