Express.co.uk, the Celebrity Gogglebox star discussed the exciting things he has planned for the future after his tumultuous time. The Strictly: It Takes Two star has previously been brave in his candid discussions about the tough time he experienced when his marriage ended after six years.  The Eurovision presenter had a very public split from husband Dan last year, which had a significant impact on him mentally. However, it seems since that time, Rylan is feeling more positive about his future. The presenter started his career ten years ago on the ninth series of The X Factor, and has recently revealed he will be releasing a book entitled 10 to celebrate a decade of working in the showbiz industry.When asked about what was next, the star replied: “Quite a lot actually, a lot personal and a lot public. “Yeah, a new start personally and a new start professionally. I'm ready!”Rylan and Dan met through Big Brother back in 2013, with the former going on to win the series. When the pair parted ways, the star admitted that he had become very ill and lost weight, retreating from the spotlight for months due to his health struggles.  Quizzed about that period, the presenter gave an honest insight into how he had been feeling.“I never thought I'd be one of those people, but I completely lost six months of my life, genuinely,” he admitted.In the interview, Rylan also suggested that his honesty under the public eye has helped him keep his career going, despite the fact that being under the spotlight has sometimes been tough on his mental health.Speaking about his knack for being open with the public, Rylan said: “I think that's part of why I'm still here 10 years on. “I've always been honest.

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell, 62, might have been known as Mr Nasty during his X-Factor reign, but he demonstrated his softer side when he spoke of how emotional Lauren Silverman's gesture had made him."Even though Lauren had never met my dad, she knew my relationship with him," he revealed."[She] felt quite passionately that he should be named after my dad. I thought that was sweet," he told The Mirror.He also admitted that while the arrival of a new child turned the lives of some parents "upside down", he was loving it.Simon's father, Eric Phillip Cowell, was a record label director, but he sadly died more than 20 years ago in 1999.He had been born in 1918 in London's East End to a family of rope-makers.After bucking the trend in his family and opting to become a chartered surveyor instead, Eric then sold off the business in his 60s.He had also been heavily involved in the music industry and was responsible for Simon's first step to fame.Ultimately becoming the director of the record label EMI, it was Eric who arranged for his son to work at the company.He became an A&R rep - and the rest is history.Tragically, however, his beloved dad never lived to see the biggest heights of his career, as he died the day that Westlife made it to the top of the charts.The Irish boyband had been under Simon's wing at the time.He has since described his father's death as "the worst day of my life"."I phoned him to tell him about [Westlife's] Number One, because that's what I did — when something good happened, I called my dad," he later explained to the Daily Mail."It was the ultimate irony.The worst thing that could happen and the best — all in one day."It just shocked me to the core.
