Rylan is regularly seen on shows such as This Morning and Loose Women, and was recently commentating with radio DJ Scott Mills at Eurovision 2019 in Israel.
Today’s role saw the former X Factor contestant join the likes of Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Gloria Hunniford.
The television personality is teaming up with his mother Linda for a brand new project – the highly-anticipated Celebrity Gogglebox set to air on Channel 4 later this year.
Going on to tease the pair’s experience on TV together, Rylan suddenly admitted he had to “apologise to [This Morning star] Holly [Willoughby]”.
He began: “I was nervous, more so, because I think I am so used to doing the TV stuff now, my mum is not.
“I was very nervous about my mum. She came round yesterday and obviously the crew, everyone was talking to her and calmed her down.
“The first line that came out of her mouth. We can’t have the sound on this because it is daytime…
“I need to apologise in advance to Holly Willoughby,” Rylan then joked. “You will understand when you watch the show.
“I cannot believe the conversations I had with my mum yesterday…” he teased.
“My mum has suffered all my life from severe Crohn’s disease and I don’t think Crohn’s gets spoken about enough,” he said. “I nearly lost my mum last year, again, for the third time.
“She was, with all due respect, the hospital said to her, ‘If you didn’t come in [for] one more week, that would be it.’
“My mum has been ill my entire life.
“When I was on The X Factor, for argument’s sake, she only managed to get to one live show.
“That was quite upsetting for her to see that – who wants to see me singing? It’s just moments like that,” the guest added.
Rylan went on to say his mum is often too ill to come into the studio when he’s filming his Radio 2 show.
“With the radio, I say to her every week, ‘Why don’t you come in?’” he recalled. “She won’t because she is not well enough to do that.
“But with Celebrity Gogglebox, she feels so comfortable because she is in my house, she feels safe,” Rylan added.
Celebrity Gogglebox will air on Channel 4 later this year.
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
