Rylan Clark-Neal has confessed he’s still bitter about his Big Brother dreams being destroyed in 2008, after his name was leaked to the press meaning he could no longer enter the house.
Speaking on This Morning with Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby and Davina McCall, Rylan said he’s “got the right hump” about the incident.
He said: “I was a housemate, I was in hiding. I think I was going in with Greek Gerry, week two twist.
“And it all came out in the papers and back then, the rules were very strict.
“If you got found out, you didn’t go in.”

Of course, the Big Brother super-fan eventually got to experience life in the Borehamwood bungalow when he entered the celebrity version – and won it.
He said: “I’ve got the right hump – but it all worked out in the end.”
Rylan and Davina were on This Morning to discuss Big Brother: Best Shows Ever, which started on Sunday night with a look back at series one.

Over the years, there have been countless contestants from all walks of life, but Rylan and Davina both shared the same favourite.
Davina explained: “One of my favourites, and always has been, Nadia.”
Trans woman Nadia Almada won Big Brother 5 and went on to appear on Ultimate Big Brother too.
Davina added: “Nadia went in needing to be known as a woman and needing to be her true self and not being judged by her past, and going on to win. It was so special.”
The iconic host also confirmed she would never, ever enter the house herself.
She said: “The thing for me, going into that house, often people would come out saying, ‘I was badly edited,’ but there were times we could watch 24/7.
“I think it brings out the best in people and the worst in people.
“I don’t want people to see the worst of me. I’ll leave that for my kids.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV, Big Brother: Best Episodes Ever continues tonight at 9pm on E4
