Rylan Clark, the former X Factor contestant, has finally addressed the rumors about him joining the popular dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing. The 35-year-old TV presenter, who hosted the spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two from 2019 to 2023, has been at the center of speculation that he may be a contestant on the show and potentially win the coveted glitter ball trophy. However, Rylan has put an end to the rumors with a simple and direct response: "the answer is no."
In an interview, Rylan shared that he is constantly asked about participating in Strictly, but he doesn't think it would be fair to sign himself up. He explained that he wouldn't want to compete on the show after having previously hosted the spin-off, as it would be similar to going back into Celebrity Big Brother, which he won in 2013. "It wouldn't be fair," he said. "It would be the same as if I went back into Celebrity Big Brother. It wouldn't be fair."
Rylan has since hosted various TV shows, including Supermarket Sweep, Big Brother's Bit on the Side, This Morning, and The Xtra Factor. As for the upcoming season of Strictly, the BBC has yet to announce the official line-up, but there are rumors and speculations about potential contestants, such as Martin Roberts, Nicola Roberts, and Chris McCausland, who would be the first-ever blind contestant.
In the past, Rylan also co-hosted Strictly Come Dancing's spin-off show, It Takes Two, with Zoe Ball. However, he has no interest in making the transition from host to contestant. In an interview with The Sun, he shared that after leaving It Takes Two and being replaced by Fleur East, he needed some time to figure out his next career move. "I've been doing the same type of job for 10 years. For me, I just got to the point, 'What do I want? What would I like to be? Who do I want to be?'" he said.
Aside from his career, Rylan has also made some changes to his appearance. Over the weekend, he surprised his social media followers by debuting a new hairstyle. He has removed all the color from his famously brunette hair, revealing a chestnut tone as his natural color. In the caption, he explained that he wanted to "reset" his hair and shared a makeup-free selfie.
Rylan has received numerous compliments for his new look, with fans begging him to keep the style. Despite his busy schedule, he also took some time for himself to figure out his next career move. He shared that it's important for him to take a step back and reflect on what he wants to do in the future. "It's really hard to try to work that out while you're doing different things," he said. "So I had to take that step back, have a minute to myself, let it breathe, and not turn on the TV and see yourself while you're watching what everyone else is doing."
