From mockery TO MILLIONS

When Rylan Clark-Neal– simply known then as Rylan – first hit our TV screens on The X Factor in 2012, few took him seriously.

As we watched him strut around the stage with his bleach-blond hair, plus his famous over-the-top reaction to finding out he was in the live finals, he was lumped with the ‘joke act’ label.

But fast-forward 10 years and Rylan is one of the most loved TV presenters in the country – and is even officially a millionaire!

According to The Sun, his performing arts company, Rylan Ltd, is now worth a whopping £1,040,099.

The star is also a director of retailer Luxenoa – a company that sells luxury fragrances.

So where did it all go right for the Essex lad who’s fronting everything from Supermarket Sweep to Ready Steady Cook to Strictly: It Takes Two?
