Celebrity Big Brother contestant Rylan Clark has been secretly leaving the CBB house to rehearse for the upcoming X Factor tour, a former housemate has revealed.
Former CBB housemate Gillian Taylforth has told Channel 5 TV presenter Eric Johnson of the Essex singer's weekly breaks from the house during an episode of The Wright Stuff today (21 January, 2013). The secret was revealed on air and later, Johnson tweeted about Rylan's weekly escape, writing: "Recently evicted housemate just told me #Rylan has been leaving the #CBB house for #XFactor tour rehearsals EVERY SUNDAY. Ooops!"
The former EastEnders actress blurted out the secret when being asked about the contestants' knowledge of the time during their stay in the BB house.
"Rylan went out to do X Factor rehearsals for the tour and when he came back, obviously he wasn't allowed to talk about it, but when he came back he just asked someone the time really quickly, like the driver," said Taylforth.
"And we said to him when he got back in 'what's the time?' and he said 'it's 4 o'clock', we went 'quick put it on the oven' and we had the clock on the oven, so we did that, but then they turned the electric off."
A loser on X Factor 2012, Clark is still famous enough for Celebrity Big Brother
Rylan Clark is the favourite to win the reality TV show, after becoming a popular contestant on the 2012 series of X Factor. He is due to perform alongside the likes of Christopher Maloney, James Arthur and all the other hugely memorable 'stars' of last year's series.
