Rylan Clark-Neal Early and personal life

Clark-Neal was born Ross Richard Clark on 25 October 1988 in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, to mother Linda Clark.

In 2007, he applied for Big Brother 8, but, “the day I was going in, it got taken away from me because it got leaked to the press. It was devastating.”

Clark-Neal has been a part-time model since he was 16. It was during his early modeling career that he adopted the stage name “Rylan”; his modeling agency, finding his name boring, named him Kielan, but sent his royalty cheque to “Mr. K Clark”, which meant that without divulging his real name, he couldn’t cash that cheque, and never received his £126.

He then went into a branch of WHSmith and pulled out the name “Rylan” from the R section of a baby name book. He was in several Take That and Westlife tribute bands in Ibiza and was also part of a Spanish boy band called 4bidden until 2010.

In September 2014, Clark-Neal got engaged to Big Brother 14 housemate Dan Neal. On 7 November 2015, the couple got married.

Rylan Clark-Neal Career

2010–2011: Television appearances
In 2010, Clark-Neal appeared in four episodes of the BBC series John Bishop’s Britain. Clark-Neal was then a finalist on the Sky Living modeling series Signed by Katie Price.

2012: The X Factor

In May 2012, Clark-Neal auditioned for the ninth series of The X Factor at The O2 Arena in London, in front of Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Tulisa, and guest judge Rita Ora.

He performed a dance version of Des’ree’s “Kissing You”. Barlow said afterward: “Rylan, love your personality, hate your voice, really strange song choice as well.” Walsh also admitted that he was “a bit worried”.

Barlow gave Clark-Neal a “no”, but Ora, Tulisa, and Walsh all decided to say “yes” and put him through to boot camp.

At boot camp, Clark-Neal sang The Pussycat Dolls’ “Don’t Cha”, with former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger now a judge. After his performance, Barlow admitted: ” think he’s going to haunt me throughout this competition.”

Barlow was reluctant to send Clark-Neal through to judges’ houses, but the other three judges were in favor of him advancing. Clark-Neal was eventually put through into the boys’ category with Scherzinger as his mentor.

At judges’ houses in Dubai, Clark-Neal performed a stripped-back rendition of Rihanna’s “We Found Love” in front of Scherzinger and Ne-Yo. Scherzinger later put Clark-Neal through to live shows as one of her final three, along with James Arthur and Jahméne Douglas.

She told him: “Rylan, it’s such a big risk… but I have to take it, and you are in my final three.”, and then Clark-Neal appeared to have an immense breakdown.

Clark-Neal sang “Gold” by Spandau Ballet in the first week of the live shows, and was in the bottom two with Carolynne Poole the following night. Scherzinger voted to save Clark as he was her own act, while Barlow and Tulisa voted to save Poole, based on the final showdown performance.

Walsh, after being pressured for an answer by presenter Dermot O’Leary, voted to save Clark, who had received more public votes and was saved, much to the disgust of Barlow, who stormed off stage and later called Clark-Neal a “joke act” and “talentless”.

In week 2, Clark-Neal persisted to wind Barlow up by first performing part of Barlow’s “Back for Good”, and then claiming afterwards that he had booked him a cab in advance in case he stormed off stage again, to which Barlow responded “That’s funny because I’ve had yours on hold for two weeks.”

That week, Clark-Neal was put through to week three on the public vote. In week 5, he was in the bottom two again with Kye Sones but was saved by the public vote. This followed after Barlow and Walsh voted to eliminate Clark while Scherzinger and Tulisa, who had the deciding vote, voted to eliminate Sones.

Tulisa sent the result to deadlock and Sones was eliminated. In week 7, Clark revealed on The Xtra Factor that his psychic had told him he would make it to week 7 of the competition before leaving, but the following night he was put through to the quarter-final by the public vote.

Celebrity Big Brother

Clark-Neal became a housemate in the eleventh series of Celebrity Big Brother in January 2013. He was the second celebrity to enter the Big Brother House. On launch night, he and Italian jockey Frankie Dettori selected which celebrities would join them in the House and who would be banished to the Basement.

It was revealed mid-way through the series that, contrary to the show’s rules of staying in the Big Brother House throughout the series, Clark-Neal had been leaving the house each Sunday to rehearse for The X Factor Live Tour, which began a day after the live final on 25 January.

He made it to the final five, alongside Neil “Razor” Ruddock, Claire Richards, Ryan Moloney, and Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (Heidi & Spencer being counted as a single housemate). Clark-Neal was announced as the winner during the live final, after which he broke down into tears.
