Rylan Clark has confirmed that he will return as host of Big Brother's Bit on the Side, dismissing claims that he angered producers by getting involved with a contestant from last series.

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner and X Factor contestant told Jon Hornbuckle for Digital Spy that reports he had lost the role after getting close to series 14 contestant Dan Neal were untrue.


"I will be back, despite some recent allegations," he said. "I love presenting... I think a lot of people doubted me when it was announced that I would be presenting the show.

"I don't think I'm big-headed, but I think I've done a great job and that's what I've been told.

"If the only thing that people can pick on is my teeth and not my presenting then I've done a good job. Nobody has said I'm a s**t presenter.

However, Clark declined to elaborate on his relationship with Neal, saying: "My personal life is my personal life

"I live my public life on TV practically six or seven nights a week so now I think it's time that I take a step back and try to enjoy my personal life... I think any person alive, whether they are an A-lister or a Z-lister deserves a bit of [privacy]."

Clark also said that he is still in touch with his X Factor mentor Nicole Scherzinger and revealed that she became hooked on Celebrity Big Brother while he was in the house.

"She's coming over in a few weeks for a massive sleepover," he said. "I can't wait to give her a cuddle, she's been my biggest supporter since day one and I'm so lucky.

"She calls [Big Brother] 'that television house' but she did watch it, she watched it every night and she voted for me and was the first person to congratulate me when I came out of the house."

He'll be a regular guest I'd imagine if the rumours are true

Good news, the only thing I'm worried about is them cutting Emma's days down which cannot happen because it is her show

This summers schedule was fine, and I didn't mind AJ in the end so if she comes back idc

[Vanessa]

Emma will be busy with The Voice as well.

The Voice is being filmed atm and the pre-recorded stuff will begin airing in January time, so live shows shouldn't be until about March/April. I'd imagine they'd try and schedule all the filming outside of January so she's free for CBB

I'd love it if Rylan presented his days on his own.

Dan needs to **** off, cling on.

[reece(:]

I'd love it if Rylan fecked off.

Ew fire the fame hungry freak and just let Lord AJ present on her own

Less Emma can only be a good thing for me so i'm pleased with this news.

(Though I rarely ever watch BOTS anyway so this doesn't really affect me either way)
