The tide is turning on two-faced tv stars

So says Rylan Clark

He claims some people in the industry aren’t nice and polite, like they portray themselves to be and behind the scenes they treat people badly…that people are starting to see through it now and all will be revealed…

Well that is good news

Kicking and screaming no doubt.

CherryCokeFanatic · 20/05/2023 15:48

Holly next please. She is awful

thebellagio · 20/05/2023 15:50

He had to go. He had become the story so it couldn’t continue. No presenters are bigger than the shows they present.

Mrsjayy · 20/05/2023 15:52

He is still going to be working for itv though .the sky article I read said he has the soap awards and a .New show in the pipeline,

I think there's some snobbery about Rylan. His Essex accent, the teeth, the tan, the waybhe came to fame makes people who dont watch such low brow TV assume he's a talentless wannabe, but he's actually incredibly good at what he does and thoroughly decent with it

That's interesting. I may be a snob then. I have seen little of him, as I don't watch much TV at all. What very little I did see, he came across TO ME as superficial and inauthentic.

As you point out, I may well have been misled by the fake tan, teeth and accent and that probably makes me a snob. I shall challenge myself to do better! It's that Essex aesthetic that when you only see it in certain contexts leads you to fall for stereotypes.

My friends husband works on tv studios and he gives us the lowdown on everyone 🤣
He said Holly is pleasant enough, polite but not friendly. Schofield is a massive bellend- bad tempered and rude. Davina McCall is apparently lovely. Gok wan he said was one of the rudest people he has met and Olly Murs is extremely arrogant and has a god complex

Mrsjayy · 20/05/2023 16:18

I'd love to get all the @Grapewrath 😄

Mrsjayy · 20/05/2023 16:29

Oops gossip 😅

GellerYeller · 20/05/2023 16:37

‘I have agreed to step down’ sounds to me as if he didn’t suggest it voluntarily. With immediate effect- is new information about to be revealed by the press?

Mrsjayy · 20/05/2023 16:55

It reads to me, that he's been negotiating with ITV before he "stepped down"

Merryoldgoat · 20/05/2023 17:04

@Bluemuf

I agree with you 100% about Rylan.

Easily dismissed owing to his look but even during the whole X-Factor process all those years ago he was extremely nice, funny and fun.

WarningToTheCurious · 20/05/2023 17:06

Even the Radio 4 Today sports reporter was taking the piss out of Holly and Phill this week. Guess his position was untenable.

CaveMum · 20/05/2023 17:07

The fact that it’s “with immediate effect” speaks volumes - no farewell show, no emotional video montage with teary goodbyes from fellow presenters…

GellerYeller · 20/05/2023 17:11

I’m sure Holly said see you Monday on Thursday when signing off but Sky are saying she’s off till after the school holidays. The DM are already eyeing up replacements including Dermot, Mulhearn and Vernon(who’s on Radio 2 at the same time as TM!)

CaveMum · 20/05/2023 17:13

Dylan’s just announced on his Radio 2 show that he’s away for the next few weeks working on other projects…. 😜

thebellagio · 20/05/2023 17:22

I bet Phil only offered to step down if he was given a new prime time show as compensation… hence the reference in his statement.

the utter glee that the media are taking in this does speak volumes to the fact that he’s clearly not liked in the industry.

CaveMum · 20/05/2023 17:26

Stupid auto correct, of course “Dylan” should be “Rylan”.
