Rylan Clark's Television Return Following 'Invasive' Facial Procedure
Rylan Clark has made a notable return to television screens, hosting ITV's This Morning alongside Emma Willis on Monday. This appearance marks his first since publicly discussing what he described as a 'traumatic and invasive' facial procedure last month. The 37-year-old presenter stepped in for the bank holiday edition, replacing regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, who typically present from Monday to Thursday.
Addressing Cosmetic Tweakments on Air
Clark's return comes after a candid exchange on BBC Radio 2, where his colleague Sally Boazman, 76, questioned him about his altered appearance. When asked if he had 'gone under the knife recently,' Clark revealed he had undergone a procedure just the day before, calling it 'quite invasive on the face.' He declined to provide specifics over the radio, but sources later indicated to the Daily Mail that the star had received fillers.
In the studio, Clark showcased a chiseled bone structure, wearing a cream v-neck jumper and black denim jeans. He has been transparent about his history with cosmetic enhancements, previously admitting to spending £25,000 on veneers in 2013, along with lip filler, Botox, and other dental work to achieve a more natural look.
Reflections on Cosmetic Surgery and Family Humour
Clark humorously discussed cosmetic procedures with his mother, Linda, joking about her potential expenses. 'I said to her yesterday, all of this ain't going to do anything now, it's time to go in for the big one... But I ain't spending 30 grand on Linda's face,' he quipped, adding a light-hearted comparison to Kris Jenner.
During the radio conversation, Boazman noted she had 'earned my wrinkles,' to which Clark agreed, stating 'there's nothing wrong with wrinkles, I like my wrinkles.' However, Boazman pointed out, 'you haven't got a single one! I'm looking at your face, not a single one.' When complimented on his skin and hair, Clark responded, 'honestly without that I'd look like a troll.'
Past Admissions and Future Ambitions
In previous interviews, Clark acknowledged sometimes going 'a bit too far' with tweakments but expressed no regrets, viewing it as a learning experience. 'I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I’ll probably still have more things done,' he said, advocating for personal choice in cosmetic procedures without judgment.
Beyond his television work, Clark's popularity has positioned him as a contender for hosting Strictly Come Dancing. Insiders suggest he is 'very keen' to partner with Angela Scanlon, a former contestant, with producers valuing their potential chemistry and fresh dynamic. Sources indicate Clark would 'bite the BBC's hand off' for the role, describing it as his 'dream job' and predicting he could be a 'ratings winner.'
Career Highlights and Show Details
Clark's career includes hosting It Takes Two from 2019 to 2023, his Saturday radio show on Radio 2 for over six years, presenting on This Morning, and anchoring Eurovision coverage for the BBC. His recent episode featured guests Mollie King and Matt Edmondson, who discussed their podcast and performed a magic trick.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1 and is available for streaming on ITVX.
