Rylan Clark has made it clear that he will not be participating in Strictly Come Dancing, despite receiving multiple offers to compete on the popular BBC ballroom show. The 35-year-old TV personality, who previously hosted the spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, explained that he believes it wouldn’t be fair for him to take part in the competition.
In a recent statement, Rylan mentioned that he is frequently asked to join ‘Strictly’, but his answer remains a resounding no. He expressed that returning to the show as a contestant would not be fair to others, likening it to going back to compete in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’. Rylan, who co-hosted ‘It Takes Two’ with Zoe Ball and later Janette Manrara, admitted that transitioning from host to contestant would feel strange to him.
After leaving ‘It Takes Two’, the former ‘X Factor’ contestant shared with The Sun that he needed time to reflect on his career and future goals. He expressed the need to figure out what he truly wants and who he wants to become in the entertainment industry. Rylan emphasized the importance of taking a step back, allowing himself time to breathe, and avoiding constant self-comparison with others in the industry.
Despite his decision to decline the offer to compete on Strictly Come Dancing, Rylan remains active on social media platforms, engaging with fans and sharing updates on his life. Fans can follow him on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads to stay connected and informed about his latest projects and endeavors.
While Rylan’s decision not to participate in Strictly Come Dancing may disappoint some fans, his focus on self-reflection and career development shows a thoughtful approach to his future in the entertainment industry. By taking the time to assess his goals and aspirations, Rylan is positioning himself for continued success and growth in his career.
