The former 'Big Brother’ star separated from his husband, Dan Neal, last summer after six years together, and the 33-year-old presenter shared the bed with his mum, Linda, 69, as he struggled with the split.

He told OK! Magazine: “I couldn’t have got through the last year without my mum. She was there for me majorly." She was my entire support.

At one point, I didn’t want to come back; I didn’t want this job any more – I didn’t want to do anything.

Linda added: “He’s got this beautiful home, but he was here with me." He couldn’t sleep, so I said, "Get in my bed with me."

“He’d lost so much weight, he was just staring all the time." I was crying all day with him, and I was forcing him to eat.

The former "X Factor" star stepped back from social media and turned his life around after starting an exercise and diet plan.
