Hi Rylan. I'm Andrea from ITN.
Hi, how are you?
Love this outfit.
Oh thank you very much.
Every time I see you, you just get hotter.
-Oh, I wouldn't go that far. -Looking brilliant.
Now X Factor star yourself, here at a musical about the X Factor. You must be really happy
to be here tonight.
Yes, my dream musical to come and see. I mean, it's a show about practically my life that
I lived for like a year once I was on the show. I'm really excited.
Now, can you believe how far you've come since being on the show? Is that audition just the
best thing you ever did?
Yeah, I mean it's completely changed my life. You know, it was two years ago that I auditioned,
and it seems like a lifetime ago, but it was two years ago. It's just absolutely crazy,
so yeah it's amazing to still be here.
So this is a musical obviously, and let's just say you're going to have a musical all
about Rylan. I can see that happening, by the way. I can see it. Who would play you?
Who would you want to play you in a musical about your life?
I'd probably get Simon to do it. He obviously studied me enough on the show. Oh, Gary Barlow.
Barlow. He'd make a good Rylan, definitely.
He gave you a bit a grilling on the X Factor.
Yeah, just a little. Yeah, just a little grilling, but no, I love Gary. He's a great guy, and
we talk and yeah... What happened in the studio stayed there.
Oh lovely. Now also, let's just say we've got your musical in the West End. You need
to have a theme tune to your life. Mine's Don't Stop Believing.
Theme tune to my life? Oh my God. Probably Kylie. I Should Be So Lucky. Definitely. I
just think luck's been on my side the last few years. Definitely would have to be something like that.
When you say Kyle, I remembered your X Factor performance.
Get the hood out.
And obviously on Keith Lemon's Celebrity Juice.
Obviously, yeah. A bit of juice.
What is it like working with Keith? He seems like a character.
Keith, I mean Leigh, whatever we want to call him. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever
met in the business. So not above his station. Lovely guy, just great. Deserves every success
he's got.
So we've got Cheryl back. Simon, Louis... Who do you think should have that fourth seat
back on the X Factor panel?
I've heard a couple of rumours, but every one I've heard is great names. So whoever
it's going to be, they're going to have to contend with three strong judges. That's all
I'm going to say.
Are you going to miss Scherzy?
I'm going to miss Nic, but I can't wait for her new music to come out, so good luck to her.
And what about Rihanna? Do you think she'd be good on the panel?
I think Rihanna would absolutely smash it apart, but it's whether she's got the time
to do it or not. If she has, then fantastic.
And one last thing, obviously Cheryl's comeback is huge. Do you think it's really going to
be a big, big good thing having her back on the show? What do you think she's going to bring?
Cheryl is just going to bring the glamour back that she's always had, and she's a Geordie
firework. I love her to bits, and I cannot wait to see her back.
And one last question. Obviously, by the way, Celebrity Big Brother this year was incredible.
What are we going to see you doing over the next 12 months?
I could never tell you. It's all a surprise, but don't miss it. It's going to be fantastic this year.
Oh thank you Rylan. Good to see you. Bye.
