Rylan Clark-Neal has received some disappointing news just months after announcing his separation from husband, Dan Neal.

It has been confirmed that Ready Steady Cook will not be returning to the BBC for a third series. The iconic cookery show was given a reboot in 2019, fronted by Rylan, and last aired in 2020.

Rylan has been keeping a low profile on social media since he confirmed the end of his six-year marriage to Dan back in June. At the time, Rylan admitted to The Sun: "I have made a number of mistakes which I deeply regret and have inevitably led to the breakdown of our marriage."

He continued: "I have taken time away from work as I am not in a good place at the moment and am seeking help. I am trying to take each day at a time and would like to thank you to everyone for their support and for respecting our privacy at this time."
