Rylan Clark said he'll 'fume' after an 'unglamorous' incident appeared to trigger memories of being pranked by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. The BBC Radio 2 host was left mortified in scenes aired on the duo's hit ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway after he became the victim of one of their 'Undercover' stints.
Rylan had viewers in stitches as he had no idea he was being pranked by the Geordie duo as part of their ITV programme's popular Undercover segment. The 35-year-old, who is fronting the BBC's coverage of Eurovision this year, thought he was spending the day filming some content for the song contest which is being held in Liverpool in May.
And the former X Factor star and Celebrity Big Brother winner was heaped with praise after he was pranked by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly after it was eventually revealed that he had actually been brought to a studio to unknowingly be part of a huge stunt that had been arranged with Ant and Dec and their Saturday Night Takeaway team with the help of BBC Eurovision and EBU.
After seeing him being instructed to dance around, say things in foreign languages, where they meant something completely different to what he thought he was actually saying, and asked to ride a man dressed in a green morph suit on his back like a motorbike in front of a green screen, Rylan was flooded with messaged from fans saying how the genuine Rylan had shone through.
And the following day Rylan wrote on Twitter: "Cheers for your messages. Remember tele people…. Be nice to people at work, we ain’t anything special and you never know who’s listening in to a mic." But in his latest social media appearance, Rylan feared he was being stitched up again.
The Strictly - It Takes Two host posed a dimly-lit selfie of himself looking concerningly into the camera with his head in one hand to Twitter. "Just filmed a show - glamourous," he started the tweet before adding: "Broke down in dark lane in back of a car - not glamourous."
In a series of follow-up tweets, Rylan confirmed it was the car that had broken down and "not me FYI" before saying he was "cold". He shared how he'd used his lipstick to write 'broken down' on the windscreen of his car, despite it being dark. "For those asking it’s @victoriabeckham beauty 'girl'. My lipstick is now f****d."
And as his ordeal continued, he returned to his Twitter profile and claimed: "IF THIS IS @antanddec PART TWO I’LL TURN!" But his fans and followers were sweetly supportive. @JencatQ said: "Bless you Rylan you're one in a trillion. Hope you got home safe and warm in the end and are not still stuck out there!!"
@SRStoon1892 replied: "Chin up love." @Libbyjen laughed: "Where’s beeping Ant & Dec when you need them??! Hope you get sorted out soon. Stay safe." @SL_Dee73 added: "It’s ok to not be glamorous all the time."
Returning to Twitter on Friday morning (April 7), Rylan offered an update after leaving fans concerned overnight. "I'm alive btw. Just mourning the remnants of lipstick," he shared.
