Rylan Clark confessed he had a ‘traumatic’ face procedure earlier in the week after he was grilled about his new look by a BBC Radio colleague.
The presenter, 37, admitted he had his latest tweakment as he presented his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday.
Rylan’s co-star Sally Boazman, 76, who does 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 faces! Yeah, it was very invasive.’
He 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 leading Rylan to declare ‘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.
