Rylan Clark’s latest show Dating Naked UK was released this week – but the star had a “fright” while at the cinema premier of the dating programme.
Rylan Clark has admitted he had a “frightful” experience seeing his teeth on the big screen.
The Radio 2 star this week launched his Paramount TV show Dating Naked with an exclusive cinema screening. It has been described as “Love Island without bikinis”.
Dating Naked sees 10 singletons looking for a holiday romance without clothes on. During their time on the show, they will see new singles arrive attempting to throw a spanner in the works and break up couples.
Rylan, 35, held the launch screening for the show this week ahead of its release on Friday. He discussed his experience at the launch event with Orna Merchant on his Rylan on Saturday Radio 2 show.
He said: “I did a launch this week for my show and we were in a cinema, seeing my teeth that big on a screen, it was frightful.”
Orna replied: “Your teeth are lovely.”
Rylan added: “In real life they are. But 4K, 400m tall, absolutely not, I thought I was watching Jaws.”
Rylan is understood to have spent around £25,000 on his porcelain veneers in 2013, before he began presenting Big Brother’s Bit on the Side. He has previously described the decision as the “best and worst” decision of his life.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: “These teeth were the best and worst decision of my life. For the first three months of Big Brother, I was a terrible TV presenter, but everyone was just talking about my teeth.
“By the time they’d stopped talking about my teeth, I was good at my job. Literally, I learned on the job!”
Rylan’s relationship with cosmetic procedures did not end at his teeth either. The former X Factor contestant has been forthcoming about having “bits and bobs” of cosmetic surgery done, including Botox and fillers.
In his memoir The Life of Rylan he recalled an incident where he laughed so hard on live TV that his overfilled lips started to “dribble” down his face.
Discussing the incident on This Morning, he said: “The worst thing happened though. “I laughed and laughed SO much my lip burst open and collagen filler started to dribble out.
“I’d had a bit too much filler put in the week before. The f***ing horror. Live on TV and half my lip was spread across the floor.”
- Rylan on Saturday airs weekly on BBC Radio 2 between 3pm and 6pm. While Dating Naked UK is available to stream now on Paramount+.
