Beloved TV personality Rylan Clark is set to make a special appearance in the second series of Doctor Who, stepping into the Whoniverse for a unique episode inspired by the Eurovision Song Contest.
Known across the UK for his charismatic hosting on shows ranging from This Morning to Dating Naked, Rylan will portray himself in this exciting episode of Russell T Davies’ acclaimed series. The episode promises a thrilling blend of sci-fi and musical spectacle, paying homage to the vibrant and iconic Eurovision Song Contest.
The full-length teaser trailer for Doctor Who's new season gives fans a glimpse of Rylan's role. He takes the stage in a spectacularly large stadium, accompanied by a whimsical feline co-host, to introduce the “Interstellar Song Contest.” Sporting a lavish red velvet suit, his signature slicked-back hair, and impeccably groomed beard, Rylan energetically announces, “Welcome… to the Interstellar Song Contest!”
This intergalactic event is met with roaring applause from the crowd, with one enthusiastic fan shouting, “I love a good show!” The announcement of Rylan joining the Doctor Who universe was celebrated on social media, with official Doctor Who accounts posting, “Who better to host the Interstellar Song Contest? Please welcome @Rylan to the Whoniverse.”
Rylan’s deep connection with song contests is well-documented. His rise to stardom began with his memorable participation in the 2012 season of The X Factor UK, where he impressively reached the live shows and finished in fifth place. Since then, Rylan has been a familiar face in the world of Eurovision. In 2018, he took on the role of panelist for the UK’s former Eurovision selection show, Eurovision: You Decide. He has also served as a co-commentator for the Eurovision semi-finals and as the UK’s spokesperson during the contest.
On social media, Rylan expressed his excitement about joining Doctor Who, calling it a "dream come true." He shared, “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,” accompanied by a heartfelt message to fans.
In a more detailed statement, Rylan elaborated, “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.”
The anticipation for the upcoming Doctor Who season is at an all-time high, with the series set to air from April 12, 2025. Fans are speculating that the "Eurovision in space" episode could coincide with the Eurovision Song Contest final on May 17, adding an extra layer of excitement to both events.
In addition to Rylan's appearance, the season will showcase Ncuti Gatwa returning for his second outing as the Doctor, alongside new companion Varada Sethu. The series promises thrilling encounters, including dinosaur skeletons on the loose, a new villain portrayed by Alan Cumming, and the return of the beloved Bonnie Langford.
Other notable guest stars joining the adventure include Anita Dobson, known for her role in EastEnders, and Ariyon Bakare, celebrated for his performance in Mr Loverman.
The new series will be accessible to viewers on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, with international fans able to stream it on Disney+.
