It was revealed the pair went their separate ways last month almost six years after they tied the knot, with Rylan announcing he is 'seeking help' for issues following his seven-week absence from BBC Radio 2. 

Rylan was due to host the concert, alongside Joey Essex and Denise Van Outen, which celebrates pop music from the 1970s up to 2000s.

The event had already been rescheduled from June, and a spokesman for the concert announced that the popular star would not be taking part.

A representative for Rylan has been contacted by MailOnline for a comment.    

It comes after earlier this month it was revealed that Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell are 'amongst the stars rallying around the presenter' who is in a 'very dark place' amid the breakdown of his marriage.

It was reported that Katie Price has 'been his rock' as he comes to term with what has happened, while Ruth Langsford has also been offering her support.

A source told Closer : 'Katie Price in particular has been his rock over the last few weeks, and given she's been through three marriage splits herself, she understands the torment he's going through.

'Nicole has also been messaging him and has given him a list of books that have helped her through painful break-ups.'

The source further revealed to the publication that Rylan was in a 'very dark place' but found it 'hugely comforting' to have his friends supporting him. 

The news came after Rylan thanked fans for their support and revealed he is working towards returning to his jobs amid his marital breakdown.

Last month, Rylan broke his silence on the split, saying he made a 'number of mistakes' that led to the 'breakdown' of their marriage. 

In a statement, he said: 'Following reports about Dan and I spending time apart, I feel I have to speak out - as the way it is being reported is unfair. 

'I have made a number of mistakes which I deeply regret and have inevitably led to the breakdown of our marriage.  I have taken time away from work as I am not in a good place at the moment and am seeking help.'

Rylan added he is trying to take each day at a time and thanked his fans for their support and respecting the couple's privacy.

The presenter and his husband Dan's split was the result of their different desires in life, sources revealed to MailOnline. 

Rylan recently sparked concern among fans following his mystery seven-week absence from his Radio 2 show as well as being silent on social media.

Insiders have now divulged details of the demise of their relationship, citing Rylan's well-publicised desire to have children and Dan's longing for a TV career as part of the reason for the split, saying: 'They just couldn't resolve their differences'. 

The news comes after BBC officials voiced hopes for Rylan's imminent return, telling MailOnline: 'Rylan is taking a few week's break and we look forward to him returning to Radio 2 in due course.'

Friends of Rylan and Dan, who has a 21-year-old son Cameron, have stated they are 'unsurprised' by news of the split due to their different aims in life. 

Sources recently told MailOnline: 'Rylan loved being a step-dad and was wonderful but it just couldn't fill the gap he felt for wanting his own children.'   

Rylan has made no secret of his broodiness, saying in 2019: 'I have a 19-year-old stepson already - Cameron - and he's amazing. I want to be a dad, I'd love it to happen, it's when and how.' 

Insiders also revealed that Dan's desire for fame was a large part of their relationship and he has even have multiple showreels made in a bid to win success.

The source went on: 'Dan really wants a TV career. He looks at Rylan being so effortless. He's had showreels made and would love to be a TV star'.  

After hosting This Morning together in 2017 as stand-ins for the lead presenters, Dan's TV career failed to take off further while Rylan remained firmly in the spotlight. 

Later that year, Rylan spoke about their marriage to BUILD series LDN, where he explained that their relationship was often filled with arguments. 

He said: 'We recently did something together and it was about being the perfect match and they had to keep stopping and say 'you have to make out you like each other' because that is me and Dan and I think that's real...
