RYLAN CLARK: BLOWING UP MY PERFECT LIFE

Rylan Clark joins Jamie for this week’s episode to discuss his obsession with fame, a breakdown that left him unable to make a cup of tea, and THAT scene on X Factor with Nicole Scherzinger. Rylan hit our screens in 2012 on TV talent show, X Factor and quickly became one of the most talked about contestants. Fast forward 12 years and he’s gone from TV joke to national treasure. But all the success came at a cost, when Rylan suffered a breakdown in 2021 and had to step away from the limelight. Opening up about why he triggered that change, and the difference between his onscreen presence, Rylan, and his true self, Ross, this conversation will both make you laugh and cry. #RYLANCLARK #GREATCOMPANYPODCAST #JAMIELAING Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:27 Explaining THAT X-Factor scene with Nicole Scherzinger 10:05 How I secretly planned to go into Big Brother whilst on X-Factor 13:10 Jamie trying to do my job 14:30 How I am as a presenter 15:45 When I suffered a breakdown in my life 22:55 My thoughts on love and my dating life 23:30 Mine and Jamie’s funny interaction 24:35 The difference between Rylan and my true self, Ross 25:45 I always wanted to be famous 30:45 I was the joke act on X-Factor, but I owned it 34:10 Why I changed my name from Ross to Rylan 36:10 My new podcast ‘How to be in the Spotlight’ 40:38 Final eight Questions -- If you enjoyed this episode, please click follow - we have so many great guests like this one, you won't want to miss out!
