Rylan Clark shares health update after pulling out of Radio 2 show due to bad bout of flu

Fans were gutted when Rylan Clark had to pull out of his Radio 2 radio show over the weekend because of a debilitating bout of the flu, but they were happy to see his most recent health update.

When the former Big Brother star pulled out of presenting his Rylan On Saturday radio show which airs from 3-6pm each weekend, fans were incredibly worried about him.

Rushed into hospital, the star documented the visit on Instagram – which caused concerned fans to worry about the health of the star.

But after sharing a health update today (February 15), fans are overjoyed to know he's doing okay, while some plead for him to be back on air soon.

Taking to Instagram to give his fans an update, Rylan posted a snap of his coffee table with a large glass jar that contained an array of yummy treats.

Filled to the brim with Happy Hippo bars, Rylan penned a caption which read: "Whenever I feel ill I turn into such a child. Resting up be back sooooooon."

Fans were happy to hear from the star, and the post ended up racking up more than 11,000 likes in a matter of hours.

Flocking to the comments to wish him well, one fan said: "Take good care of yourself babe and hopefully you will soon be fighting fit."
