Rylan Clark speaks out on The Last Leg

Rylan was asked his opinion on a tweet sent out by Tory MP Nadine Dorres earlier this week. It detailed what leadership candidates Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss were wearing.

Rylan responded: “I don’t care if you’re wearing a £200k suit, as long as you’re running the country right, I don’t care what’s on your feet or on your back.

“Primark or Prada, I don’t think it really, really matters.”

He continuned: “I don’t care what you’re wearing.

“Just run the country right, look after people in this country, and stop being a [Bleep Bleep].”

The studio audience erupted into cheers and Twitter immediately demanded Rylan was snapped up for the top job instead.

Rylan for PM?

The man himself tweeted on Saturday morning questioning whether anyone can run for prime minister.

He tweeted: “One day, I’ll be prime minister!”

Channel 4’s Rick Edwards replied: “This has finally broken my impartiality – you have my vote.”

“Within the week at the current rate,” joked The Chase star Mark Labbett.

Rufus Hound added: “I’m not sure you could keep up with all the scandal, mate.”
