Rylan Clark was triggered by This Morning guest Gyles Brandreth's 'cruel' wind up on Thursday, days after being terrified by the appearance of a snake in the studio.
Much to the delight of many viewers, former X Factor star turned Strictly It Takes Two and Radio 2 host Rylan has made an unexpected return to the daytime programme alongside Ruth Langsford, with the pair the latest duo to benefit from a presenter shake-up by producers.
In the opening moments of their first show together on Monday, Ruth quizzed Rylan about a video of his that caused a stir on social media, after he found a snake in his kitchen. The hosts were joined by an animal expert as Rylan expressed his alarm at the shock discovery, before a cruel trick was played on him when a snake handler walked on set armed with a massive python.
