He said: “Twice last year I ended up in the back of an ambulance because my heart failed. “I just remember the shot and all of a sudden this feeling from the middle of your body, on both sides, it almost takes you over, and you just stop and my heart stopped. “There are only seven faces and this bright light is looking at me. And then I took a breath. And he was like, “He’s on a regular schedule.” “I thought, ‘What’s going on?’ Rylan had seen his heart rate shoot up to 248 BPM, well above the average of between 60 and 120 BPM. His friends and family had initially told him it was due to heartbreak, but he insisted it was more serious. Speaking at London’s Royal Festival Hall to celebrate the launch of his new book Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future, he said: ‘I knew it wasn’t right. Turns out my heart needed to be restarted. “I remember lying in resus and I had all these pads with all these wires and I didn’t understand what they were. “Only then did I say, ‘What were the pads for?’ And they said, “If you weren’t breathing… why would we have to restart you electrically.” “You don’t even think about it when you’re there. So I didn’t just get sick mentally, I got sick physically.” 4 Rylan and Dan split last year 4 The star took five months off workCredit: Social Media – View Source
