Rylan Clark Slams 'Disgusting' Twitter Critics

Rylan Clark has hit out at the Twitter users who criticised him for making jokes about his grandmother's Alzheimer's disease.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner had tweeted: "Nannys climbed out the window down my aunts house..... Alzheimers, As sad as it is, you've still gotta laugh x #loveher"

And some users of the social networking site had taken issue with his seeing the funny side of a horrible situation.

But Rylan was defiant in an interview with Star magazine, saying: "Obviously, you have got to laugh because if you don't f**king laugh then you cry. I think it's absolutely disgusting that some people feel the need to pipe up.

"Don't tell me how to deal with my own family issues. Some people have nothing better to do with their lives than sit on Twitter and pick at people.

"How about you come round my house where I live with my nan and tell me I've got no idea? If you had any idea what it was like, you'd be laughing about the situation, too - it's the only way to deal with it.

"How about you f**k off? Make sure you print that."

He said his nan was aware of his recent success - sparked by his run on The X Factor - but that he had been unable to bring her to the show.

"When I was on X Factor she knew what was going on but I couldn't invite her down to live shows in case she got violent and swung for Gary Barlow!

"I'd love to take her places with me, but it's hard to take her anywhere."
