Rylan Clark has opened up to Davina McCall on a new podcast about his "rough" marriage split from husband Dan Neal.
The BBC Radio 2 presenter split from Dan last year and has revealed to The Masked Singer judge how he started to go out more than he usually would.
Speaking on his Ry-Union podcast he reassured fans he doesn't have a "drink issue" following his break-up.
He explained: "Lately I've gone out a few times and drunk more than I usually would.
"I'm quite honest about it – I've been going through a tough time, that's not me saying I've got a drink issue, because I definitely haven't."
Last year, the 33-year-old took time off from social media and work after breaking down during his BBC radio show.
While taking the break the star had some weight issues and explained how he managed to transform himself.
He said: "I had a bit of a dodgy year last year and I took some time out.
"The next thing I knew I was like nine stone, and I'm like six foot four.
"I was thinking, I've got a gym – I'd only really ever been in there once – so I might as well use it. So I got a trainer and asked him if he could make me look buff."
The TV presenter and his ex tied the knot in 2015.
The X Factor star returned to work in September last year following the long hiatus and admitted it made him "feel normal again."
He added: "I saw nothing. In one respect, that was the best thing for me. In the same respect, I look back now and I do regret how I got, but I couldn't help how I got.
"I wished I'd just gone to work. I wish I had the ability to go to work and try and distract myself from what was going on in my life, but I actually couldn't. For every hour that passed, it got worse and worse and worse.
"It took a lot for me to go back to social media but I knew I had to do it, for want of a better term, to feel normal again because it was part of my job and it was part of my life."
