RYLAN Clark admitted it has been a ‘long day’ after being tipped to replace Phillip Schofield on This Morning

The former Celebrity Big Brother star took to social media with a relaxed home selfie, after he announced he is taking a break from his Radio 2 show.

Rylan, 34, took to his instagram story where he shared a relaxed full length mirror selfie at home.

The star posed in tracksuit loungewear as he captioned the photo: “long day,” sending fans into a frenzy.

According to Ladbrokes, the star is at 3/1 odds to replace Phillip Schofield, 61, after his sensational axe from This Morning.

The star is known for his – at times – seemingly flamboyant personality and thought this translated to the his workout routine.

He later clarified: “It’s not a crystal Dumbbell, it’s a Wardrobe Knob.”

This comes after Rylan announced he is taking a break from his BBC Radio 2 show – just hours after Phillip Schofield announced he had quit This Morning.

The presenter hosts his own programme each Saturday from 3pm until 6pm with the Beeb.

Addressing the fans and his guests in the studio, he revealed he would be taking time away from the show.

He said: “This is where I should say ladies I won’t be catching up with you next week.

“Because I am off to do some other bits and bobs so I’m not going to be here for a fair few weeks.”

He added: “I just want to say whoever is looking after this seat for a fair few weeks can you please make sure you look after Couch Potatoes.”

Rylan stopped short on revealing the exact reason for his departure but it comes just as Schofe announced he had quit This Morning.

He has previously co-hosted the ITV daytime programme before – including with Holly and is very much a member of the show’s family.
