Rylan Clark returned to BBC Radio 2 this Saturday after taking some time off to film his Channel 4 series, Dating Naked UK, but it wasn’t long before chaos ensued.
Former X Factor star Rylan Clark, 37, seemed happy to be back at the helm of his BBC Radio 2 show, Rylan On Saturday, alongside his co-star Sally Boazman and KaRYoke guest Professor Green.
The star delightfully announced “I’m back!” while resuming his radio duties, as hosting the upcoming series of Channel 4’s Dating Naked UK had taken him away from the airwaves for two weeks.
After thanking Owain Wyn Evans for covering for him, Rylan was up to his usual mischief with traffic reporter Sally, before throwing caution to the wind and poking fun at the BBC’s strict rules that prohibit free advertising, humorously encouraging bosses to “sack me”.
Following an impromptu game of two truths and a lie, Sally told Rylan: “You’re back and you’re already causing trouble”, before further chaos ensued as the host drew attention to Sally saying something that sounded like a rude word.
During her traffic report, Sally showed her appreciation to a listener who had called in to informing her of a situation on the roads, saying: “Thank you Anker for your call,” as Rylan cheekily interjected: “Who?” before Sally chuckled and repeated the name.
He continued: “Oh, alright. I wondered what you said then! My God, I thought, what a way to go out,” as Sally continued the joke by replying: “Yeah, it’s been lovely working here.”
She added: “I’m sure that was [her name], sometimes the phone messages get a bit blurred,” before Rylan quipped: “You don’t want to blur that one, I’m telling you now!”
The chaos didn’t stop there, as Rylan went on to jokingly suggest he “didn’t care” about the BBC’s rules while rapper Professor Green, real name Stephen Paul Manderson, took part in his Rylexa feature, inspired by Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa.
Introducing the game, Rylan said: “I’ve been creating a new artificial intelligence machine called Rylexa, I’m looking for people to buy shares in it. If you want, we can talk after the show.”
Being aware of the broadcaster’s impartiality guidelines, which are in place because UK viewers fund the BBC through the TV licence fee, Professor Green responded: “Sure. There are other AI platforms that you can invest in, isn’t that what you’ve got to say on the BBC?”
Rylan cheekily exclaimed: “But they’re not Rylexa! Who cares? Sack me!” The Read All About It hitmaker then pleaded with the BBC: “No! Don’t sack him, I’ll stop listening!”
It comes after Rylan and his co-star Vernon Kay previously had to apologise on behalf of Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri, who used some foul language during her set at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in September.
The Scottish singer, 58, apparently thought any swear words would be bleeped out by the BBC when she shouted: “F*** this!” during a lunchtime performance, which was being live streamed on both Radio 2 and BBC iPlayer.
