Rylan Clark issues message to fans as they rush to support him over 'gear' video

Rylan Clark shared a positive message with fans as they rushed to support him over a leaked video which saw him drunkenly asking for 'gear'.

On Sunday morning the star tweeted: "Morning. Slow news day. Have a good Sunday" and added a thumbs up emoji.

He later posted a meme featuring a photo of Eastenders character Sonia Fowler, with the title: "What doesn't kill you makes you Sonia."

The presenter captioned the image with a red heart, the Birmingham Mail reports.

TV star Richard Osman was among those showing his support for Rylan.

Commenting on his Twitter post, he said: "Rylan, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're a lovely, kind guy, and a brilliant presenter.

"Someone is being judged today, and it's not you."

The footage starts with the former This Morning presenter shouting: “Give me the gear...”

In the video, filmed outside a packed bar in London’s West End, the Mirror reported that Rylan then said: “Delete that now or I will f****** kill you!”.

The star was smiling and the slurred “threat” was clearly a joke.

Fans urged Rylan, who recently opened up about his mental health struggles following his marriage breakdown, to "stay strong".

"Sweetheart, we love you. Stay strong xxx" Yorkshire-mel commented.

Fayemichel said: "Absolutely! Keep that head held high and keep being your fabulous self."

Philsoulsby added: "Go on Rylan. Think all the support you have had speaks volumes."

And Emilytalksrecovery wrote: "You are so immeasurably loved, Rylan."
