Rylan Clark: I Played the Fame Game on The X Factor | GREAT MOMENTS
6/7/202613 min
Cast your mind back to the early 2010s when paparazzi shots ruled the front pages, and reality TV was turning ordinary people into stars overnight. From Big Brother and The X Factor to TOWIE and Made in Chelsea, our generation grew up at the peak of fame culture, raised on the idea that being famous was the ultimate dream.
Few people embody that era quite like Rylan Clark.
We first fell in love with Rylan when he appeared as the ‘novelty act’ on The X Factor in 2012. From there, he went on to win Celebrity Big Brother, host TV primetime shows and is now BBC Radio 2 royalty, carving out a career that most could only dream of.
In this Great Moment, Rylan opens up about his lifelong fascination with fame and how playing 'the game' on The X Factor helped him make the most of the competition.
