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…

PS takes far too great an interest in young teenage boys, I don’t understand why he has never been investigated by the police.

How do you know he hasn't?

@mainsfed
Oh Deary me, bit touchy are we?
I meant your opinion is irrelevant to Rylan not to me. And your opinion is also irrelevant to how successful or not his career is.
I couldn't care less what you think of my opinion 😂

Talk about touchy, love 😂

I meant your opinion is irrelevant to Rylan not to me.

You didn’t say that though. Enjoy fangirling your Z-list crush 😂

Ant and Dec. Not very nice people at all IRL.

It's not really. People couldn't put up with his lies.

Paul O'Grady married a lesbian who has admitted she was a beard for him. I assume it was with her that he had a child. He always talked fondly of his grandchildren. So they made it work. PS is not far off the same age with all the prejudice in the 80s it's easy to see why.

Plenty of men out there living a lie in an unhappy marriage whether they be gay or straight. Same goes for women. Hence - eternally single 🤣

Show quote history

Paul O'Grady married a lesbian friend to stop her being deported. He had his daughter with a friend of his that he was in an on/ off relationship with - I've read the autobiographies, cracking read actually.

Rylan once let me go in front of him in Tesco and told me I'd dropped a £10 on the floor - he is very tall, smells divine and I believe him.

Rylan is lovely. He’s from my town originally, always very polite to everyone, and a genuine person.

Picoloangel · 11/05/2023 08:05

@Takoneko thank you for explaining the mysterious theft of the Land Rover that never was! That has always intrigued me. It might be that I need to get out more…

Purplehyena · 11/05/2023 08:13

I’ve met Rylan a couple of times through work and he’s always been lovely. He may have started out as a bit of a joke, but he’s put the work in, taken on training for presenting/radio work and learnt his trade unlike a lot of ex-reality stars who seem to wing it. Good on him (and I’m loving his Eurovision coverage at the moment)!

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 11/05/2023 08:16

@mainsfed

I don't have a crush on him. He's the exact opposite of the type of person I fancy. I'm not engaging with you any more as you just seem out for an argument. Take care love.

Absolutely this. I’ve not met Rylan but I love how he’s been prepared to work his way up from the bottom and put the time into training and learning his skills. that’s why he’s still around 10 years on from X factor,

he’s been very open of the fact that whether you are the tea person or the CEO he’ll treat you the same. I suspect that’s why he’s so beloved now, because those runners who started his career at the same time as him are now working their way up the ranks to become decision makers.

i suspect that’s also why the likes of P&H get such bad press now, because they’ve literally sent years looking down on the “little people” who now won’t be prepared to protect them.

H isn’t speaking to P off air apparently. The knives are out.

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 11/05/2023 08:31

Ooh anyone want to take one for the team and watch them this morning? They'll either carry on as before or be OTT laughing and joking to try and make out the headlines aren't true. He needs to go. He's vile...and put Rylan next to Holly instead.

I watched a bit the other day and there's definitely something off with them

@Mamai90 Tbf, he’s pretty grumpy on tv a lot too 🤣but that doesn’t bother me, they do come across as genuine people…I prefer grumpy to sugar sweet niceness etc, if it’s not true off screen

Read any autobiography about most people in show biz and they will hint at all the fakery and how two faced people are and the bitching that goes on. Then social media came along and it's even easier to get an idea of how bad it is and the same names crop up time and again as being horrible and back stabbing. None of it is new really and it doesn't surprise me reading threads like this ( or articles about it online)

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 11/05/2023 08:39

I don’t know why ITV is so obsessed with keeping that duo on, people see through them.

love rylan, seems genuine and nice and also grateful for what he does

newnamethanks · 11/05/2023 08:39

When your career depends on your husband, it's probably wise to put up with a lot. Anthea Turner found this out to her cost and is still scraping around for work all these years later.

MillieMollieMandy1 · 10/05/2023 21:30

I'm not a fan but this is at least the second 'what is going on with Philip Schofield' type of thread today..why? Very odd. Why do we care??

Perhaps because we like to see karma in action.

GuinnessBird · 11/05/2023 08:52

TIL that a lot of people have strange unexplainable issues with Holly and Phil.

I like Rylan, I think it was obvious in the ant and dec prank that he was a genuinely nice person as he didn’t have any sort of diva strop about any of it despite the whole thing going wrong and being stitched up. I do wonder if anything is actually going to come of the whole this morning thing though, Holly and Phil have gone back on like nothings happened and it seems to have been firmly brushed under the carpet once again

@Arxx But how long can it be? Holly looks irritated by him, he looks sort of squirmy, it’s uncomfortable…
