Rylan Clark Opens Up on Friend Cancellations

 reflected on friends being 'cancelled' as he appeared on an episode of The Assembly this weekend.

The presenter, 37, was the latest celebrity taking to the hot seat on hit  show, which sees famous faces answer unfiltered questions from an audience.

One notable moment saw participant Jacob ask Rylan: 'How do you cope when one of your celebrity friends is cancelled?'

Rylan looked visibly shocked by the question as the room gasped, and after gathering himself for a moment Rylan answered: 'It's really tough...

'Especially because some of them are not just my work friends – they're genuinely, like, close friends.'

'At the end of the day, if someone's done something wrong, then I understand why they can't carry on doing what they're doing.'

While Rylan didn't specifically name who he was talking about, he added: 'But I do feel today that we live in a world where people will wanna go for you and cancel you for the sake of just doing it, because they can.'

He then urged people not to 'always believe what you hear or read' and that you shouldn't be 'frightened to ask why' certain decisions are made. 

As Jacob walked off Rylan then joked: 'God, this is like a lucky dip. You just don't know what's coming next, do you?'

While Rylan didn't refer to anyone in particular when he spoke he has a large group of A-list pals due to his work on This Morning and Radio 2.

He continues to have a close friendship with radio star Scott Mills who was axed by the BBC earlier this year.

It was announced on March 30 that Scott, 53, had been sacked after 28 years allegedly due to claims of a historical relationship. 

The Mirror linked the decision to fire Mills to a 2016 police investigation into 'serious sexual offences' against a teenage boy between 1997 and 2000.

The case was dropped around seven years ago due to a lack of evidence.

Also during the episode of The Assembly, Rylan was questioned over his infidelity that led to him splitting from husband Dan Neal before suffering a mental breakdown.
