Ross Richard "Rylan" Clark (born 25 October 1988) is an English broadcaster and media personality. He came to prominence as a contestant on the ninth series of the television talent show The X Factor in 2012, which he finished in fifth place. The following year, he appeared on the eleventh series of the reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, which he won.
Clark went on to present various television shows, including Big Brother's Bit on the Side (2013–2018), This Morning (2013–2019, 2022–present), The Xtra Factor (2016), Up Late with Rylan (2016), Supermarket Sweep (2019–2020), Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two (2019–2022), Ready Steady Cook (2020–2021), and You Are What You Wear (2020). Since 2018, he has served as a semi-final co-commentator of the Eurovision Song Contest, and has presented various shows on BBC Radio 2.
Early life
Ross Richard Clark[1] was born on 25 October 1988 in the Stepney area of London,[2] to mother Linda Clark.[3][4] He went to a Catholic primary school and was an altar server.[5] Until he was 11, Clark lived with his mother, older brother Jamie and grandmother Rose in a council house in the Stepney Green neighbourhood in London's East End.[6][5] After the family moved to Essex, Clark was educated at Coopers' Company and Coborn School in Upminster.[7]
Career
Career beginnings
Clark has been a part-time model since he was 16 and a half.[8] It was during his early modelling career that he adopted the stage name "Rylan",[1] which was conceived when he went into a branch of WHSmith and chose the name from the R section of a baby name book.[9] In 2007, he applied for Big Brother 8, but, "the day I was going in, it got taken away from me because it got leaked to the press. It was devastating."[10] He was in several Take That and Westlife tribute bands in Ibiza,[2] and was also part of a Spanish boy band called 4bidden until 2010.[8][11]
In 2010, he appeared in four episodes of the BBC series John Bishop's Britain. He was then a finalist on the Sky Living modelling series Signed by Katie Price.[12]
The X Factor
In May 2012, Clark auditioned for the ninth series of The X Factor at The O2 Arena in London in front of Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Tulisa and guest judge Rita Ora. He performed a dance version of Des'ree's "Kissing You". Afterwards, Barlow said: "Rylan, love your personality, hate your voice, really strange song choice as well." Walsh also admitted that he was "a bit worried". Barlow gave Clark a "no", but Ora, Tulisa and Walsh all decided to say "yes" and put him through to bootcamp.[13]
At bootcamp, Clark sang The Pussycat Dolls' "Don't Cha" with former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who was then a judge. After his performance, Barlow admitted: "[I] think he's going to haunt me throughout this competition." Barlow was reluctant to send Clark through to judges' houses, but the other three judges were in favour of him advancing. Clark was eventually put through into the boys category with Scherzinger as his mentor. At judges' houses in Dubai, he performed a stripped-back rendition of Rihanna's "We Found Love" in front of Scherzinger and Ne-Yo. Scherzinger later put Clark through to the live shows as one of her final three acts with James Arthur and Jahméne Douglas. She told him: "Rylan, it's such a big risk... but I have to take it, and you are in my final three", and he appeared to have an immense breakdown.[14]
Clark sang "Gold" by Spandau Ballet in the first week of the live shows, and was in the bottom two with Carolynne Poole the following night. Scherzinger voted to save Clark, as he was her act, while Barlow and Tulisa voted to save Poole, based on their final showdown performance. Walsh, who had the casting vote, voted to save him, sending the result to deadlock, in which Clark had received more public votes than Poole and was saved, much to the disgust of Barlow, who stormed off stage and who later called Clark a "joke act" and "talentless".[15]
In week 2, Clark continued to annoy Barlow by first performing part of Barlow's "Back for Good" and then claiming that he had booked him a cab in advance in case he stormed off-stage again, to which Barlow responded "That's funny [because] I've had yours on hold for two weeks."[16] That week, he was put through to week three on the public vote.[17] In week 5, he was again in the bottom two with Kye Sones, but he was saved by the public vote. This happened after Barlow and Walsh voted to eliminate Clark, while Scherzinger and Tulisa, who had the casting vote, voted to eliminate Sones. Tulisa sent the result to deadlock and Sones was eliminated.[18] In week 7, Clark revealed on The Xtra Factor that his psychic had told him that he would reach week 7 of the competition before leaving.[19] The following night, he advanced to the quarter-final through the public vote,[20] before being eliminated by the judges in the quarter-final, with only Scherzinger voting to save him over Union J.[21]

Celebrity Big Brother
Clark became a housemate in the eleventh series of Celebrity Big Brother in January 2013. He was the second celebrity to enter the Big Brother House. On launch night, Clark and Italian jockey Frankie Dettori selected which celebrities would join them in the House and who would be banished to the Basement. It was revealed midway through the series that, contrary to the show's rules of staying in the Big Brother House throughout the series, he had been leaving the house each Sunday to rehearse for The X Factor tour, which began a day after the live final on 25 January.[22] He made it to the final five with Neil "Razor" Ruddock, Claire Richards, Ryan Moloney and Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

Other work
In February 2014, Clark made a guest appearance in the Sky 1 comedy series Stella.[66] In 2015, he reached the final of BBC One's Celebrity MasterChef.[67] On 21 January 2016, he announced on Twitter that he would release his autobiography titled The Life of Rylan on 30 June 2016.

Personal life
Clark became engaged to Big Brother 14 housemate Dan Neal in September 2014,[74] and they were married on 7 November 2015.[75] On 27 June 2021, it was announced that the couple had separated after six years of marriage.[76] At the end of the relationship, Clark had a breakdown and took four months off work, as well as spending a period of time in hospital. He said in an interview, "My body did completely shut down. I wouldn't eat. I went through a stage where I couldn't even talk, which for some people might be quite handy. My speech was just slurred. My mum thought I was having a stroke. My body just went. I went down to 9 stone and I am 6 foot 4."[77]
Clark lives in Stanford-le-Hope.[78] He is a supporter of West Ham United FC.[79]
Clark has made several references to perhaps being a persona, which he personifies within certain places. On podcasts and during interviews, he implies that there are fundamental and deep differences between 'Ross' and 'Rylan'. Losing touch with 'Ross', is what Rylan implies was a factor that triggered his breakdown.[80]
