Rylan Clark flees Rob Rinder's sweet surprise as he opens up about behind-the-scenes 'trauma' from competing on X Factor
ok.co.ukThey’ve travelled across Venice, Florence and Rome, but Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder’s epic Grand Tour has come to an end.The pair grew close over the series, bonding over art, music and good food.
But in the final episode of the travel series, Rob’s kind gesture to Rylan backfired. Rob surprised Rylan with the chance to sing with an opera concerto, but the presenter refuses and flees the room.
As Rob chased after him, Rylan admitted the experience brought back unpleasant memories from his time on the X Factor. He said: 'Every week I was thrown into the lion's den doing stuff that I didn't know.” As Rob tried to comfort Rylan, he continued to say: “It's like an internal thing now, when you've been through that experience.
Once you've been through that, when someone goes, ''Go on, just do it'', it makes me go, ''I can't, I can't just go and do it'. ''I feel like I've worked so hard to move away from that 'f*****g idiot'' that I was perceived as, that character who couldn't sing.That can f**k someone up majorly.” Rylan competed on the X Factor in 2012 where he made it all the way through to the quarter final, and he had a completely different look back then with bleach blonde hair.
