Rylan Making Secret Big Brother X-its

Rylan Clark has been secretly leaving the Gillian Taylforth.

On Channel 5's The Wright Stuff this morning (21 January), the ex-EastEnders actress was discussing how contestants were not allowed to know the time once inside the house.

But she let the cat out of the bag, saying: "Rylan went out to do X Factor rehearsals... obviously he wasn't allowed to talk about it, but when he came back he'd just ask somebody the time very quickly, like [his] driver, and we said to him when he'd get in, 'What's the time?'"

Eric Johnson, who works on The Wright Stuff, also tweeted: "Recently evicted housemate just told me Rylan has been leaving the CBB house for XFactor tour rehearsals EVERY SUNDAY. Ooops!"

Rylan's weekly trips into the outside world break with Big Brother's usual rules, where those that escape the confines of the house are not permitted to return.

According to Digital Spy, Channel 5 has confirmed the news, releasing a statement to say: "Rylan has rehearsed for his tour on site with a choreographer, escorted by a Big Brother producer."

We told you earlier today how Rylan's row with Speidi has been reignited following a secret task.
