Rylan Clark was "crying all day" and considering quitting showbiz after his marriage ended.
Rylan Clark struggled after his breakup
The former 'Big Brother' star separated from his husband Dan Neal last summer after six years together, and the 33-year-old presenter shared the bed with his mum Linda, 69, as he struggled with the split.
He told OK! Magazine: "I couldn't have got through the last year without my mum, she was there for me majorly. She was my entire support.
"At one point, I didn't want to come back, I didn't want this job any more - I didn't want to do anything."
Linda added: "He’s got this beautiful home, but he was here with me. He couldn’t sleep so I said, 'Get in my bed with me'.
"He’d lost so much weight, he was just staring all the time. I was crying all day with him, and I was forcing him to eat."
The former 'X Factor' star stepped back from social media, and turned his life around after starting an exercise and diet plan.
Rylan has to "learn to trust again" following the end of his marriage.
He said: "I’ve just got to learn to trust again. I was in a ten-year relationship and when you learn things ... it f**** you up.
"I don’t know how long I’ll be f***** up for. I’m good in myself, but it’s going to take someone f****** special ... it's not a quick fix."
Rylan previously revealed he's looking for love again, and has a wish list of traits he wants in a potential new flame.
He shared: "My dream man is someone f****** decent, who is proud of me, who is happy when I walk through the door, who treats me with f****** respect, who loves me, makes me laugh and me do exactly the same for them - that’s my dream man.
"I don’t care if he works in Sainsbury’s or he's a Hollywood A-lister."
