Rylan Clark entertained fans as he shared his traumatic experience trying to get to Liverpool where he is covering the Eurovision Song Contest next week for BBC Radio Two. The 34-year-old broadcaster, who is one of the presenters providing insight and commentary for the station, had a far from easy journey afer revealing that he had packed 20 cases to take with him.
"Pray for me with 20 cases alone on a train," he had messaged and asked "How the f*** am I gonna do all these cases by myself?" Then there was drama ahead with issues at London's Euston station.
Rylan tweeted at around 6pm on Saturday: "All trains suspended at Euston you cannot be serious. This is how I perish." And he followed this up by saying: "I live at Euston now" with a picture of his luggage.

The former X Factor finalist, Celebrity Big Brother winner and Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two host was spotted by fans and tweeted: “A group of women have just screamed RYLAN at the top of their voice on the concourse. Slowly dying.”
He then said: “I’ve befriended an elder who has just come back from Japan and is looking to get to Birmingham. Lovely man. This is real.” But Rylan still wasn't going anywhere as he later tweeted: “EUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM.”
He shared a snap of a packed Euston station simply captioned “Chaos” before saying 'f*** this' with a picture of a glass of red wine. A smiling Rylan then shared a selfie with a group of fellow 'stranded' passengers.
After making it onto the train he explained: "The train has been declared Declassified. No drinks. No good. No seats." He added: "Nothing matters anymore. A lady has give me a pornstar martini. This could be the end. God speed x."
He shared a video clip with other passengers, pointing at at his chair and saying comically: "Declassified means 'this don't mean nothing.'" As someone offered a hip flask of whisky, he said: "I don't know what this means. I don't know what's going on."
He explained: "They won’t serve drink. The train is DECLASSIFIED. This is a free for all. Each to their own. I may eat my own leg I just don’t know. This is not the best FIRST alone experience ngl." And he pointed out that his luggage had been moved, saying: "SOMEONE HAS MOVED MY CASE AND PUT IT DIAGONALLY!!!! Is this the etiquette?! I don’t think this is acceptable tbf."
He shared a further post in which he offered: "I will give £50 to anyone that will cuddle me at the end of this experience, preferably throughout the night." As the journey continued, he appealed to actress Sheridan Smith to play him in a dramatisation of the journey.
He tweeted: “I wish for SHERIDAN to play me in the TV drama” and Sheridan herself answered, saying: "With pleasure." When Rylan eventually got to his hotel room he was delighted to find a karaoke machine waiting for him.
