Rylan Clark: 'My critics don't bother me, let them slag off me and my teeth'

....."I’m glad I did my teeth. I had my teeth done the day I started presenting Big Brother and back then, I couldn’t present a show for nothing, but everyone was talking about the teeth so no-one thought I was a crap presenter. It was a Brucie bonus!

"Now, a year and a half on, people say, ‘Oh, his new teeth look so much better’. Well they’re the same set. You’ve just got used to them and I’m a good presenter now."

.....quick accession through the TV ranks is unprecedented

....."It took Emma [Willis] 11 years to get the Big Brother job, it took me six months, which is ridiculous. I’m not saying I’ve got the same credentials but I’m doing the job and doing well.

"I’ve been given a fast pass and I’m grateful for it. Because I’ve been given that fast pass I’m not taking it for granted, I’m actually working 10 times as hard.".....
