Rylan posts cryptic message after Louis Walsh’s savage takedown of his singing career on Celebrity Big Brother
Rylan clashed on screen with another X Factor judge during his time on the show
RYLAN Clark shared a cryptic message last night after Louis Walsh was critical of his singing ability.
While he's now one of the nation's most-loved TV presenters, Rylan initially wanted to be a pop star and took part in the X Factor in 2012.

He made it all the way to the quarter-finals, before being axed in a sing off with boyband Union J.
His flamboyant outfits, big personality and Judges' Houses tears endeared him to viewers, but judge Gary Barlow wasn't among his fans and called him a "joke act" in the live shows.
Rylan had the last laugh though as he's since landed presenting roles on BBC Radio 2, Eurovision, This Morning and Big Brother's Bit on the Side to name but a few.
His singing days were once again brought up last night during a chat between Louis Walsh and David Potts in the CBB house.

Louis was also a judge on the 2012 series of X Factor.
Ibiza Weekender star David asked Louis if he would have made it through the competition.
Louis replied: "Oh you'd get through, but you'd divide them some of them wouldn't like you but enough would. And you stand out, you're different.
"You're not the best singer in the world… But ok I'm gonna give you a chance, I'm gonna put you through."
