Rylan Clark returns to TV for the primary time since ‘traumatic and invasive’ face tweakments internet hosting This Morning with Emma Willis – as followers cheer ‘the dream crew are again!’

Rylan Clark has returned to TV for the first time since his ‘invasive’ face tweakments to host This Morning with Emma Willis on Monday. 

The presenter, 37, admitted that he had a ‘traumatic’ face procedure last month after he was grilled about his new look by a BBC Radio colleague. 

The X Factor star stepped in to present the ITV show for the bank holiday instalment, replacing Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, who present every Monday to Thursday. 

Rylan appeared in the This Morning studio alongside Love Is Blind host Emma, 50, and showed off his incredible bone structure and chiseled face. 

He opted for a cream v-neck jumper and black denim jeans for his presenting gig on the programme. 

Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their excitement over him being back on their screens.  

‘Oh my… sooooooooo happy to see @Rylan back @thismorning. The best.’

‘What a joy to see Rylan & Emma presenting #thismorning . Please put them on Friday’s and get rid of those 2 kid presenters @thismorning.’

‘@thismorning The dream team today @Rylan and @EmmaWillis. Such a joy to watch. No egos, no hogging the limelight, just 2 genuine people who know how to present professionally. Lots more please!’

‘#thismorning emma… and Rylan back! happy easter.’ 

‘@thismorning wow so happy to see the back of twitchy Dermot and turned on this morning and it’s a pleasure to see Rylan and Emma ,yes i will watch the whole show today.’ 

Rylan is a fan favourite on the This Morning team who steps in when regulars Cat, Ben, Alison Hammond or Dermot O’Leary aren’t working. 

He was last on our screens in September – and his migrant comments on the ITV show sparked HUNDREDS of Ofcom complaints.

On March 30, Rylan’s Radio 2 co-star Sally Boazman, 76, who presents the traffic reports, asked Rylan: ‘You’re looking very good these days. 

‘Have you gone under the knife recently?’ 

He replied: ‘Weirdly, I had something done yesterday, which was, ugh, such a trauma, I’m not gonna lie, what I had done.’ 

Sally then pushed Rylan to reveal what it was that he had done. 

But Rylan told her: ‘I won’t go into it over the radio, because it was just quite invasive on the face! Yeah, it was very invasive.’ 

A source told the Daily Mail that Rylan has had fillers. 

The star previously admitted to having fillers, alongside Botox and ‘bits and bobs’ of cosmetic surgery over the years. 

Rylan added that he’d spoken to his mum Linda about cosmetic tweakments, quipping: ‘I said to her yesterday, all of this ain’t going to do anything now, it’s time to go in for the big one… 

‘But I ain’t spending 30 grand on Linda’s face, I’d rather pick her up by the head and shake her about and chop it off myself! 30 grand, she’s not Kris Jenner!’

As his friend Sally declared she had ‘earned my wrinkles’, Rylan agreed, saying ‘there’s nothing wrong with wrinkles, I like my wrinkles’ only for Sally to point out ‘you haven’t got a single one! I’m looking at your face, not a single one’.

After Sally complimented Rylan’s skin and hair she told him ‘it’s amazing what money can buy,’ Rylan declared ‘honestly without that I’d look like a troll’.

The presenter was also joined by Mollie King and Matt Edmondson on his show.  

The pair were there to chat about their podcast, Novel Idea, and for Matt to dazzle Rylan with a magic trick. 

The presenter has been incredibly open in the past about having cosmetic procedures, previously admitting he spent £25,000 on veneers in 2013.

He has also had lip filler, Botox and underwent another procedure for his teeth so they would look more natural.

In a previous interview, Rylan acknowledged he had gone a bit overboard with his tweakments but said he never had any regrets as it was all a learning curve. 

He said: ‘I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I’ll probably still have more things done. 

‘I think if you’re in a position where you want to change something, and you think it will make you feel better, and you can do that, then do it. 

‘I don’t think you should be judged for that. Do I think sometimes in the past I’ve gone a bit too far? Yeah. Do I realise now that I don’t have to go as far as that? Yeah, so, I don’t.’

Rylan has had his Saturday radio show for over six years and his popularity has now put him in the running to become the new Strictly Come Dancing host.

However, he still faces screen tests so producers can assess his chemistry with any possible co-stars.

Strictly sources say bosses want a fresh line-up with strong connections to the show.

One told the Daily Mail: ‘Rylan has a long-standing association with the show, and Angela has been a contestant.

‘But the main thing is they’d be a totally new pairing – no baggage, no former shows, uniquely Strictly.

‘On top of that, they want to be sure that an all-female presenting line-up isn’t replaced by an old-fashioned male-female duo where the man takes on a dominant role. 

‘Rylan isn’t like that at all. Plus, he absolutely loves the show and the viewers already love him.’

Insiders say he would ‘bite the BBC’s hand off’ for the job.

One added: ‘For Rylan it is his dream job. He loved It Takes Two and the viewers loved him. It would be a no-brainer.

‘He has so many loyal fans. If he gets the job they will most certainly tune in to Strictly. He will be a ratings winner and the BBC know it.’

Rylan is said to be ‘very keen’ to be paired with One Show host Angela Scanlon, who took part in the series in 2023, and bosses believe they ‘tick every box’.

As well as fronting It Takes Two between 2019 and 2023, he hosted his own Rylan On Saturday show on Radio 2, has presented on ITV’s This Morning and anchored Eurovision coverage for the BBC.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
