Rylan Clark suffers meltdown after spotting a snake slither into his home

Rylan Clark has showcased his sheer terror after a snake entered his home on Sunday evening.

The TV presenter, 33, videoed the wild animal slithering next to his window as he hysterically screams. He captioned the video: "NOT TODAY SATAN KILL ME NOWWWW."

He can be heard screaming: "Tried to touch it and now, it's moving! It's moving! Go the other way please. Oh my god what is this?"

The animal, thought to be a grass snake, was clearly looking for it's route out - but Rylan didn't update his 1.7 million Twitter followers on the situation overnight.

He did however give a more in-depth look into his panic on his Instagram Stories. He pleaded with his followers to tell him how to get the reptile out of his home, saying "this is why you shouldn't live alone".

He jokingly asked if someone could call the police as the fear was clear in his voice. As it continued to look for a way out, Rylan shrieked: "Will it attack? Can somebody tell me will it attack?" He quickly followed the clip up with another frantically claiming the animal "went at me".

Turning the camera on himself shortly after he revealed the snake had disappeared but he wasn't sure it had actually left the property. He told his followers: "If I'm not here tomorrow then thank you Jesus for everything."

He admitted he wasn't in a good way as he continued to broadcast his nightmare and Google every possible outcome. He appeared extremely confused by the situation and asked if it was normal for a snake to be in his UK home.

He continued to record his messages throughout the night as he struggled to sleep, claiming he couldn't stop thinking about where the animal could be.

Some of his followers on Twitter joked that the video was a clear sign the star won't be putting his name into the hat for I'm A Celebrity any time soon.

One user wrote: "I guess ITV can put you down as a no for @imacelebrity, then?" But another thought it would make brilliant TV, replying: "Or a yes and put him in a viper pit for the first trial."

Others shared the former X Factor singer's pain and admitted they would have reacted exactly the same.

However, one user cleared it up that the animal isn't harmful, writing: "It looks scary but it’s just a grass snake and totally harmless. It’s probably thirsty and in need of a drink. They’re also great at catching mice and other pests. Now if it had a diamond pattern on its back, then you need to keep away and call someone."
