Rylan Clark's life before fame - from real name to X Factor rejection


Rylan Clark has been a firm fixture on our TV screens for almost a decade, but what do we know about the star's life away from the cameras and how he came to be the TV sensation we know and love today?

Louis Walsh also expressed concern about him but later yielded to the judgement of his fellow judging panel, which included Tulisa and Rita Ora, allowing Rylan to progress to the next stage of auditions. Not just content with radio, Rylan and Scott have also graced our TV screens, joining forces with the legendary Graham Norton to deliver all the juicy behind-the-scenes gossip and interviews with the Eurovision hopefuls. While we've mostly seen Rylan on our telly, he's had his brush with Hollywood too, playing an air steward in 2016's big screen adaptation of Absolutely Fabulous alongside comedy legends Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders.
