The 37-year-old radio host was scheduled to be on air but couldn’t return home from Nice, France in time for his broadcast, requiring a last-minute replacement.According to The Sun, Rylan detailed the chain of events that led to his predicament while calling into fellow broadcaster Emma Willis’ show to explain his absence. He described deliberately clearing his diary to enjoy a brief holiday with his partner and close friends in the French coastal city.
Rylan Clark’s travel nightmare in Nice, France
“I decided to go away with my partner and a couple of my friends to Nice for a few days and just enjoy the sun. I didn’t have work this week, I’d managed to clear my diary, and I was like, that’s amazing,” Rylan told Willis on air. He went on to recount his attempt to return home that morning, explaining the complications he encountered at the airport.”I was flying back very early this morning, so I went to the airport, and it was like, ‘No’. I was like, ‘sorry?'” he recalled, describing the moment his plans fell apart.Rylan detailed the difficult decision-making process that followed. “At one point I was going to get on an eight-hour train, which still would have made me late for work, but would have got me home today. In the end I thought, ‘you know what, you’ve done well for yourself, I’m just going to stay another day’,” he said.
