Rylan Clark admits he suffered behind-the-scenes 'trauma' on The X Factor being forced to perform songs that were beyond his ability


The presenter originally competed on the ITV show back in 2012, but has now shared the PTSD he suffered from being branded the 'joke act.'

In the final episode of his travel series, Rob surprises Rylan with the chance to sing with an opera concerto, but the presenter refuses and flees the room, admitting the experience brought back unpleasant memories from his time on the show. While enjoying a drink in Venice, Rylan admitted that he 'tried to end it all' amid his marriage breakdown, causing Rob to break down in tears. Rob and Rylan previously sparked romance rumours last week by saying their 'friendship is growing into love', but have confirmed they aren't a couple.
