Rylan Clark Walks Back 'Married Man' Quip on Live TV

The presenter, in Vienna for BBC Eurovision coverage, said he is not married, calling himself very happy.

Overview

  • During a This Morning interview on Thursday, Rylan Clark referred to himself as a “married man” before immediately correcting the remark.
  • Hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley pressed him on the phrasing, and he laughed as he clarified, “Not married, just very happy, very content.”
  • He was speaking from Vienna with co-commentator Angela Scanlon while working on the BBC’s Eurovision semi-final coverage.
  • Reports note his relationship with Kennedy Bates, a fairground director he went public with last August, with the pair sharing holiday photos from a January trip to the Maldives.
  • Outlets have floated wedding speculation after the slip, though there is no independent confirmation of a marriage and coverage largely cites his on-air clarification.
