He was a bit hurt they didn’t consider him to come back as he lives and breathes Big Brother, it was a bitter pill to swallow, but he’s very good at picking himself up and brushing himself off.
Rylan loves working with his mum and there's loads coming up. She's a great support network and it really takes his mind of it when they do shows like Gogglebox together, they're so close.

But amid his dismay, the TV personality is focusing on his close relationship with his mum Linda.
