Rylan Clark on impressive gesture for his mum

Back in 2022, Rylan gave an emotional interview to The Guardian. At the time, he had candidly opened up about a mental breakdown he previously suffered.

“If it wasn’t for my mum, and my family and close friends I genuinely have no idea if I’d be here,” he shared while emotional.

Rylan went on: “I learned I’m worth something. That I should be proud of myself, not embarrassed of Rylan.”

Rylan Clark ‘proud’ he built his mum a house

Talking about how far he has come, Rylan went on to share the impressive gesture he made for his mum.

He said: “I should be proud that I can build my mum a house. I should be proud that I can employ my family. I learned that.”

Rylan also spoke about building his mum a house during an interview on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast in 2022.

The X Factor star revealed he built Linda a house amid her battle and struggle with Crohn’s disease.

Rylan’s regrets…

Rylan said: “With how my life is, I was lucky enough that I was able to build my mum a house and get her that, and it’s five minutes up the road from me.” Recalling a time his mum caught him off guard and burst in, Rylan said: “But the worst thing I ever did was give her my gate code.”

He added: “I will lie to her and be like: ‘Mum don’t come round in the morning because I am working or I’ve got training or something like that.’ I haven’t … someone’s there. So what does she do? Nine o’clock in the morning and I’m in bed like: ‘Oh what a lovely night’, and I hear: ‘Ello!’ Well I have never bolted out of bed more quickly. She’s like: ‘Whose car is that in the drive?'”

Watch Rylan on Ready, Steady, Cook on Sunday (October 13) at 11:30am on BBC Two.
