Rylan Clark breaks silence to issue four-word verdict on joining Strictly 2024

Rylan Clark, who hosted the spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two from 2019 to 2023, has stated that he will not be competing for the Glitterball trophy in the near future.

According to the Daily Star's Hot TV column, Rylan said, "I get asked to do Strictly all the time, but the answer is no."

He further explained, "It wouldn't be fair for me to go back and compete. It would be the same as if I went back into Celebrity Big Brother. It wouldn't be fair."

Shortly after his X Factor exit, Rylan emerged as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother's 11th series in January 2013.

In the past, he mentioned that he was in discussions with Big Brother producers even before he left the singing show. It comes as Rylan recently underwent a dramatic change back to his natural ginger hair, which surprised his fans.
