Rylan Clark has a certain awareness he was ‘the joke’ when he got his start on TV with X Factor.
But it was on Simon Cowell’s popular singing contest that he originally found the spotlight.In a recent interview, the personality discussed his childhood, struggles with mental health and various run-ins with negative press throughout his career.: ‘I was the joke, but I knew I was the joke.
‘Listen, I’m not claiming to be f***ing Celine Dion or Mariah, but I can sing. But I weren’t supposed to sing on The X Factor. There is a box for every single person on there, and I ticked the “gay stereotype joke” box. ‘I could either stand there and sing and hope to get through, along with a million other auditionees, or I could play the game and put on a feather boa and a light-up outfit and have an argument with Gary Barlow.’Rylan recently published a book, titled Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future, in which he discusses having imposter syndrome throughout his career.
Saying he’s ‘always seen [himself] as the newbie,’ but he’s ‘the newbie no more’, the presenter insists while he’s nice to everyone in the entertainment bizz, if anyone dares cross him he ‘will f***ing ruin’ them.
