Rylan Clark-Neal had a smile back on his face this week, following his split from husband Dan Neal. The 32-year-old returned to social media to share two snapshots as he celebrated his nephew Harvey's 21st birthday.

The first image shows Harvey's incredible cake, topped with chocolate and miniature vodka bottles, while the second is a picture of uncle and nephew together as they sit side-by-side outside a restaurant.

"We are currently prioritising our mental health and looking after the ones around us we love most. I am working towards getting back to the jobs I love in due course. Thank you for being patient with me."

Rylan's comments came after fans expressed concern for the star following a seven-week absence from his Radio 2 show and silence on social media.
