Rylan shot to fame in 2012 after appearing on the X Factor and making it through to the live shows despite Gary Barlow's disapproval.

In his audition the Essex native performed a dance edition of Des'ree's "Kissing You" and has since found fame as a beloved TV and radio presenter.

On the 10 year anniversary post, Rylan's celebrity friends were quick to show their support with Fearne Cotton writing: "Iconic. Bring back this hair babe."

"I knew I'd love you, even then," fellow presenter Alex Jones wrote.

Recently Rylan teased fans with a potential Big Brother return after sharing a selfie with former co-host Emma Willis.

The pair reunited and shared a selfie together, with Rylan using the caption: "Big sister (heart emoji) Big Brother."

"I've always sat there and said the second Big Brother comes back, I'd always go back in a heartbeat," he previously told the Radio Times. "That was like a child to me, that show, and I missed it so much. So I'd jump at the chance to go back."

Emma Willis echoed his comments saying: "Everybody wants it back! I think it will come back when it's ready, maybe it's not ready yet. If you're gonna do it again, you've got to do it fantastically well."
