So he’s now in Australia and getting ready to face his fears in the jungle, which include claustrophobia and a fear of bugs, snakes and anything creepy crawly.

The Emmy Award-winning American actor has served two-and-a-half seasons on the crime drama but has reportedly decided to hang up his TV hat and turned down the option to renew his contract, as he wants to return to a full time movie career.

However, the future of the series is unclear; an A&E representative told me that there is no official word yet whether it will continue without him and PRS or be cancelled. Last week, in a long blog post explaining why he’s ending the show , Ryan—who last year came out as bisexual —wrote that “as we started to get towards the end of the fifth season, I began to realize that I was having a hard time, physically and mentally with everything,” and adds that “we need some freedom to be and to grow.” Also in the post, he discusses the evolution of the series, and says that it “was never 100% our vision” because of the collaborate nature of TV. He says that, last Wednesday, “I informed the producers a...

The chat show host – who announced he would be leaving the channel earlier this year – admitted there was a great deal of “pressure” on him while he was fronting ‘Friday Night With Jonathan Ross’. He explained: “There was a degree of pressure. And ever since my last contract was announced – and it was a huge contact – I felt like there was a lot of pressure on me, a lot of negativity about it, and I felt kind of like, well, maybe I shouldn’t be here? “I talked to them on a regular basis saying, ‘Do want me to go? Should we change this?’ And it was always the answer was no. But I felt under a lot pressure and a lot of stress to live up to that, to deal with that, and I didn’t enjoy it. The 50-year-old star – who was famously suspended by the BBC for 12 weeks in 2008 after leaving lude messages on the phone of ‘Fawlty Towers’ actor Andrew Sachs alongside Russell Brand – admitted the incident m...
