Rylan Clark has revealed his joy at seeing the end of 2021 after a tumultuous year - following his marriage breakdown and mental health break.
The TV presenter, 33, took to his Twitter to share a gif showing a man animatedly throwing a bag into a rubbish bin and hilariously compared the clip to last year.
In his accompanying caption, he appeared keen to put his troubled year behind him and he wrote alongside: '2021... off you go dear'.
Rylan joined a legion of stars in marking the end of the year, however he shunned any positivity to poke fun and the 'rubbish' year.
It comes after Rylan stepped down from his BBC Radio 2 show for four months after splitting from former policeman Dan Neal.
Sources close to the former Celebrity Big Brother star told The Mail on Sunday the couple tried to reconcile at their marital home after he spent much of the summer with his mother, Linda, who appears on his Saturday afternoon show.
They said: 'Things were looking so good, like they were back together. They hoped they could avoid divorce, but it's now looking like the only way forward.'
Friends insisted the couple spent weeks 'trying to work through their problems', but the marriage is now said to be unsalvageable.
Rylan's absence from Radio 2, social media and hosting the Eurovision Song Contest in May led to speculation.
In June, Rylan broke his silence to say: 'Following reports about Dan and I spending time apart, I feel I have to speak out as the way it is being reported is unfair.
'I have made a number of mistakes which I deeply regret and have inevitably led to the breakdown of our marriage.'
The couple married in 2015 at Braxted Park in Essex with guests including his This Morning co-stars Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes.
They met in 2013 and got engaged in Paris. In July 2016, they stepped in for Eamonn and Ruth, becoming the first gay couple to present the ITV programme.
Returning in September to Rylan On Saturday, he assured listeners: 'I am feeling better.'
