Rylan Clark is a familiar face on UK television, known for his witty and lively personality as a TV presenter. But did you know that 12 years ago, he tried his hand at becoming a popstar on the popular talent show, The X Factor? While he didn't pursue a career in singing, Rylan has been secretly working behind the scenes in the music industry.
During a recent podcast interview with Table Manners, hosted by Jessie and Lennie Ware, Rylan revealed that he has been writing music under a pseudonym. He shared that some of his songs have even been released and have done well, but he prefers to keep his identity a secret. He explained that he doesn't want to be pre-judged by listeners who may recognize his name and have certain expectations.
Rylan's journey to fame began when he appeared on The X Factor in 2012 and finished in fifth place under the guidance of judge Nicole Scherzinger. Despite his success on the show, Rylan didn't feel ready to release music under his own name at the time. He believed that people would dismiss him as a novelty act and not take his music seriously.
But that doesn't mean Rylan has given up on his passion for music. He admitted that he has written a couple of tracks that have been successful, but he's not quite ready to fully embrace a music career. Rylan explained that he has been lucky to have a successful career in television and doesn't want to risk losing that by being judged for his music.
However, Rylan did share that he has a strong desire to perform and "scratch an itch" as a performer. Despite his reservations, he can't help but wonder if he could replicate his success again if he started from scratch. But for now, Rylan is content with his role as a TV presenter, which he believes he was always meant to do.
After his time on The X Factor, Rylan went on to win Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 and has since become a familiar face on various TV shows such as Big Brother's Bit on the Side, The Xtra Factor, and Strictly's It Takes Two. He has also co-hosted Celebrity Gogglebox with his mum and even had his own radio show on BBC Radio 2.
Currently, Rylan is starring in a travel show called Rob & Rylan's Grand Tour with his co-host Rob Rinder. And while he may not be pursuing a career in music at the moment, Rylan's love for it remains. Who knows, maybe one day he will be ready to release music under his own name and surprise us all with his talent. But for now, we can continue to enjoy Rylan's infectious energy and humor on our TV screens.
