BBC Radio 2 presenter Rylan Clark revealed a moment of personal hilarity after a text from his mum caused him to doubt his own age.
While presenting his Saturday afternoon slot on BBC Radio 2, Rylan found himself feeling perplexed by a message from his mum during the live show. He shared with listeners: "My mum's just texted me, (saying) 'how old are you this year? 36 or 37?'"
Sharing his mum's lapse in memory, Rylan said even he started second-guessing how old he was. Laughingly, he confessed: "I started doubting myself then, I was like 'I'm 37' and then I was like 'am I?' I just had to Google myself."

Amid the little family mix-up, on a previous programme a couple of weeks earlier, the star of Celebrity Gogglebox expressed his pleasure at seeing BBC colleague Liza Tarbuck ahead of their crossover: "I was thinking last night, I was very, very tired, and I was like 'at least I get to cuddle Liza tomorrow, she'll give me a little cuddle'."
He couldn't resist an immediate on-air acknowledgement, saying: "I'm going to chat to you later but I had to just say hello to you now."
Rylan's professional journey continues it's upward trajectory. Achieving fame through X-Factor in 2012, he subsequently won Celebrity Big Brother in 2013, cementing his place in the entertainment industry.
In recent times, Rylan has shifted his focus from reality TV to establish himself as a host, securing positions on major programmes, with a standout role as part of ITV's This Morning team.

Additionally, in 2019, he joined Channel 4's Celebrity Gogglebox as part of the star-studded lineup, enjoying the experience alongside his mother, Linda Clark.
However, it was the previous year that saw him begin his time at BBC Radio 2, presenting his own programme, Rylan On Saturday, taking over from Zoe Ball who shifted to an earlier time slot.
Reflecting on the news of him joining BBC Radio 2 back in 2018, he expressed his enthusiasm by stating: "I'm so excited and honoured to be joining the BBC Radio 2 family. I can't wait to get started and look forward to being in the studio from the New Year."

He added: "After stepping in for the amazing Zoe Ball over the summer, working with her fantastic team, I'm thrilled that I'll be working with them again to fill listeners' Saturday afternoons with fun, great music and a lot of laughter."

The shake-up starts in less than four weeks DOWN STREAM Your favourite YouTubers could DISAPPEAR from the site over shock rule change that blocks some creators YOUTUBE has announced a major rule change that will see some creator content banned on the platform.

In less than four weeks, the age limit for live streaming on YouTube is being increased. Currently, you're allowed to live stream on your own if you're at least 13 years-old. From July 22 onward, you'll need to be at least 16 years-old instead. If the creator has an adult present in the video then all is fine. YouTube owner Google has warned that any live streams featuring 13 to 15-year-olds who are not visibly accompanied by an adult "may have their live chat disabled" and the account "may temporarily lose access to live chat or other features". "Please note that, in the future, we plan to take down these live streams and the account may temporarily lose its ability to live stream," the tech giant's website says.

Keeping kids safe on YouTube RESTRICTED Mode is an optional setting on YouTube that helps filter out mature videos. It's not perfect, but it's a good way of scrubbing out a large portion of the adult material on YouTube. However, you have to turn it off manually for each browser or device your child is using – it can't simply be applied at account level. On your computer, go to the account icon – a little person icon in the top right corner of your screen. Click Restricted Mode, then use the toggle button to turn it on. On the Android phone app or mobile site, tap the menu icon, which looks like three vertical dots. Then go to Settings > General and turn Restricted Mode on. On Android TV, go to the Home screen then scroll down to the Apps row. Select YouTube, then scroll down and select Settings. Choose Restricted Mode or Safety Mode, then select Enabled. On the iOS app (for iPhones or iPad), tap the account icon in the top right. Tap Settings then Restricted Mode Filtering, then choose Strict: Restricted Mode On. On the iOS mobile site, tap the menu icon, which looks like a three-dot column. Tap Settings then tap Restricted Mode to turn it on or off.

Diana Ross, Hydro, Glasgow ★★★★ It's a big week for pop concerts in Glasgow but Diana Ross pips the lot for legendary status. As is the diva prerogative, she made her expectant audience wait for her appearance – but only a little, as she was also the consummate professional, poised to deliver a bumper set of songs from right across her remarkably varied catalogue of soul, pop, disco and jazz standards. Diana Ross | Getty Images Her own ample band was supplemented by a swooning RSNO who followed a potted profile film with an easy listening overture. Keyboards teased her arrival to I'm Coming Out, uttered as words of reassurance. Ms Ross was onstage for the next two hours, save for a couple of speedy costume changes, paying tribute to all corners of her career, from deep cuts such as More Today Than Yesterday to crowd favourite Chain Reaction. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A run of Supremes classics from Baby Love to Stop! In the Name of Love was followed by the Seventies easy listening rapture of Touch Me In the Morning, a soft focus perfume ad of a song, and the yearning I'm Still Waiting. Despite her professed struggles with her in-ear monitors, her sweet tone shone through. Belting ballad Home proved more challenging and Do You Know Where You're Going To was downright wobbly but, elsewhere, Ross was imperious on the super sultry Love Hangover. The smooth classic jazz of Billie Holiday cover Don't Explain exposed her voice like no other song in the set, revealing only that she sounded far younger than her 81 years.
