TV host and beloved British icon Rylan Clark is making waves once again, as he is set to appear in the highly anticipated second series of Doctor Who. This special episode draws inspiration from none other than the Eurovision Song Contest, promising an interstellar experience.
Rylan Clark Joins the Whoniverse
Rylan, known for his charismatic hosting on popular British TV shows such as This Morning and Dating Naked, will play himself in this unique Doctor Who episode crafted by the talented Russell T Davies. The episode teases a grand spectacle, with Rylan taking center stage at a massive stadium, introducing the "Interstellar Song Contest" alongside a feline companion.
Donning a luxurious red velvet suit, his signature slicked-back hair, and impeccably preened beard, the 32-year-old queer star greets the universe with enthusiasm, "Welcome… to the Interstellar Song Contest!" His exuberance is met with cheers from a cosmic audience, one fan excitedly exclaiming, "I love a good show!"
The official Doctor Who social media channels welcomed Rylan to the Whoniverse with a post: "Who better to host the Interstellar Song Contest? Please welcome @Rylan to the Whoniverse." It’s a fitting role for Rylan, who has long been associated with song contests ever since his rise to fame on The X Factor UK in 2012, where he dazzled his way to the live shows and finished in fifth place.
Rylan’s involvement in the show marks a dream fulfilled, as he shared on social media, "Genuinely never thought in my wildest dreams I’d be able to say I was part of the Whoniverse. A full-on dream come true. Hope you enjoy x." This sentiment was echoed in a statement where Rylan expressed, "As a massive Whovian, getting the call to be in Doctor Who was a call I’ve always dreamed of getting. The episode is all my favourite things about the show with an added song contest set in space. It really is a dream come true. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. It really is going to be out of this world."
