Rylan Clark is facing one of the toughest weeks of his life as personal tragedy collides with professional turmoil.
The TV presenter’s mother has been rushed to hospital in an emergency just as he continues to deal with fierce backlash over controversial comments he made on live television about immigration.
ITV Contract Cut ✂️
Rylan, once one of ITV’s most bankable stars, has reportedly had his contract cut following the wave of complaints from viewers and mounting pressure behind the scenes.
The presenter had been outspoken during a heated segment earlier this month, sparking outrage and hundreds of Ofcom complaints. The fallout has been brutal, with ITV distancing itself and industry insiders warning of lasting damage to his career.
Focus on Family ❤️
But away from the cameras, Rylan’s focus has shifted entirely to his family. His beloved mother, who has stood by him through every stage of his career, was taken to hospital after a sudden health scare.
Speaking about the situation, Rylan revealed the emotional toll: “Even though she’s unwell, she still worries about me — but she told me she will always support me and is proud that I dared to speak the truth.”
Friends say the presenter has been spending every possible moment at her bedside, stepping away from the spotlight to concentrate on her care.
Fans React 😢
The news has triggered an outpouring of sympathy online. While some viewers remain critical of his comments, many have urged others to show compassion during such a difficult time.
One supporter wrote: “Whatever you think about his views, no one deserves to go through this while their mum is in hospital. Sending love.”
Another added: “His mum has always been his rock. She’s proud of him, and that should tell us everything we need to know about his character.”
A Critical Crossroads 👀
Rylan, 35, has long been one of TV’s most recognisable faces — from his early days on The X Factor to his star turn on This Morning and Strictly: It Takes Two. But the latest storm marks a defining moment in his career.
With his ITV future uncertain and his mother’s health now his priority, insiders say Rylan is quietly reassessing what comes next.
For now, though, the presenter insists that nothing is more important than family: standing by his mother as she has always stood by him.
