Rylan Clark to take a break from BBC Radio 2 show

Clark’s news came just hours after it was announced that Phillip Scholfield would be stepping down from his role as host of ITV’s This Morning leading many to question if Clark will replace Scholfield.

The former It Takes Two presenter has previously hosted This Morning making him fully prepared to step into the shoes of Scholfield and being topped as bookies favourite.

However, Clark has kept tight-lipped on the reason behind his break but that hasn’t stopped fans asking him what his new projects are.

One Twitter user shared: "Rylan I hope you're taking the job at This Morning think you’ll be a much better fit than Phillip was.”
