TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal shocked fans when he announced he would be leaving The Morning back in December, and after revealing some details of his break last month, he has revealed EVEN MORE details recently.

Speaking to OK! Online Rylan explained that while he has been taking some time out to "catch up on himself" he has also been "focusing on business stuff at the moment".

The former X Factor contestant went on to say, "I've been doing something for three years, and now I've had this break I'm finally able to go full steam ahead with it, which is great."

Although when he was asked further about these new ventures he didn't give any more details just saying, "It's been three years in the making so I’m very excited about that.

"I hope everyone will be as excited as I am".

Rylan announced he would be temporarily stepping down from his position with This Morning saying, "I've not really said anything but after Christmas, next Friday, I'm going to be going away for a little bit.

"It's definitely not goodbye but I'm going to be taking a little bit of a break for a little bit in the new year. But I just want to say thank you because it's been lovely and I will be back. I will be back."

After this announcement there were many rumours as to why Rylan was leaving, but last month he revealed that he wasn't terminally ill, having a baby or getting a divorce. He explained he wanted to leave the show to give his head, body and peace of mind a rest.

He also went on to reveal that because he is self employed, he isn't entitled to any holiday leave, so he needed a break.
