One thing I really want to mention is the way it is written. It says all over the book that Rylan wrote it himself. Aside from the actual contents of the book I think this is one of my favourite things about it. Like I've said I've read so many of these autobiographies over the years of so many different types of people and the difference when I read ones clearly written by the person is so remarkable and so much more enjoyable. I feel like you can actually hear them saying the words, you know what I mean? It really blows my mind why everyone doesn't do this. I mean I get it, maybe they will not all be written like Shakespeare but isn't that the point? Isn’t that what makes these books so much more relatable and authentic, if they are written in a way that the person would talk to you in real life, in the way that they would convey a subject to you? Isn't that the point that you want to hear about their life, from them, in their own actual words? I just want to give a massive shout out to Rylan for doing that and making his book honestly such a genuinely lovely read. Anyway. He didn’t win The X Factor, but it got him onto Celebrity Big Brother, a show he had adored growing up. He walked out the winner, and was asked to host Big Brother’s Bit on the Side. It turned out that innate charm doesn’t teach you how to read an autocue.

Well hark at you, stumbling upon my autobiography. Bet you wouldn't have put money on that three years ago, eh?! Please don't stress yourself out too much, though, it's actually socially acceptable nowadays that you're interested. After a few false starts – including an appearance on Katie Price’s ill-fated talent show Signed by Katie Price – it was The X Factor that did it. Once he stepped onto the stage, it was immediately obvious he was a born performer, if not a born singer. “You get a lot of blokes that’ll sit there and be like, ‘Oh! I wanna be the male Lady Gaga,’” he told the cameras, standing in a queue of thousands of other hopefuls. “The difference is I could actually be.” The crowd loved him, Gary Barlow hated him, and he got through to the next round. Then the one after that. Several more auditions and one sob fest with Nicole Scherzinger later, he was on the live shows.

Retrieved 4 May 2023.But sometimes those lives cross over. If you go out for dinner, people are going to come up to you. I just became a massive recluse. I wouldn’t go out. I felt like I couldn’t walk up the street. I felt like I couldn’t go to the pub. But what I’ve learned over the last year is, ‘So what if people come and say hello? Let it happen. Then you can enjoy yourself.’ I’ve learned, actually, the blur between the two ain’t that far off.” Slowly, the public’s perception of him started to change. People started taking him seriously. “The council estate boy is always going to be there,” he says. “I’ve not changed. My world changed. My teeth changed, my voice changed, but I never changed. Now people are just realising, ‘He is quite switched on! He does know what he’s doing!’ I knew it years ago, but it was hidden with long blonde extensions and a feather boa.” Rob Rinder and Rylan set off on a Grand Tour across Italy". bbc.co.uk/mediacentre .

ITV This Morning fans point out issue with Sugababes reunion as Siobhan, Mutya and Keisha make appearanceI've been a massive fan of Rylan ever since I saw him compete on Signed By Katie Price. I thought he was hilarious and was such a breath of fresh air! To this day I've supported every career move he's done; from life as an X Factor contestant to winning Celebrity Big Brother to presenting Big Brother's Bit On The Side to writing this book, and I couldn't be prouder of the journey he's been on.
