Rylan Clark took to social media to defend himself following comments made by Celebrity Gogglebox viewers as the latest episode aired.
The 33-year-old appeared on the Channel 4 show with his mum Linda, with the pair watching TV highlights of the week together from his home in Essex. They were seen laughing as Linda, 69, struggled to remember the name of the food she had a craving for.
Both Rylan and viewers at home were left baffled as Linda attempted to ask for what turned out to be sushi, describing the mystery food as “chicken with breadcrumbs round it”. Rylan was seen teasing his mum over the moment of forgetfulness - but the funny moment led to some nasty messages from internet trolls, the Manchester Evening news reports .
