Rylan Clark is the latest celebrity to face questions on The Assembly this weekend — and the TV star opens up candidly about the breakdown of his marriage to ex-husband Dan Neal.
The presenter and Radio 2 host appears on the ITV show on Sunday (May 24), where celebrities are interviewed by an audience made up of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled people.
During the episode, Rylan is asked directly about cheating on his former husband and the impact it had on his life.

Rylan Clark addresses cheating on ex-husband Dan Neal on The Assembly
Just minutes into the programme, Rylan is confronted with a question about his marriage to former police officer Dan Neal.
The pair married in 2015 before divorcing in 2021 after Rylan admitted to being unfaithful years earlier.
On The Assembly, audience member Cameron asked: “When you told your husband you cheated on him, he divorced you. Is honesty always the best policy?”
Clearly surprised by the question, Rylan replied: “Yeah, I think it is. I’m OK with admitting when I’m in the wrong. I don’t deal well with guilt and I don’t deal well with secrets.”
The BBC Radio 2 presenter also admitted the end of his marriage had a huge effect on him personally.
He said the breakdown of the relationship “made him so ill” and confessed: “it might sound terrible to say, but I’m glad it happened”.
