Catching our attention in 2012, Rylan started his career as a contestant on the ninth series of The X Factor. After taking the nation by storm with his larger-than-life performances, Rylan entered and won the eleventh series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2013. Since then, Rylan has carved out a successful broadcasting career, appearing and hosting the country’s favourite show. Now ten years on, he is one of the UK’s most loved broadcasters, best known for his work on Strictly: It Takes Two, This Morning, Celebrity Goggle Box, Eurovision, Big Brother’s Bit on the Side and the host of BBC Radio 2’s Rylan on Saturday. As Rylan always says, he started off as the joke and he’s still laughing.
In September 2022, Rylan released his now Sunday Times bestselling memoir TEN: The Decade That Changed My Future.
