Rylan Clark sheds light on 'intense' journey as he declares 'love' for ITV co-star
Rylan Clark has gushed over his 'love' for his former ITV co-star, as the pair opened up to one another on the presenter's BBC Radio 2 show Radio host Rylan Clark has openly expressed his love and admiration for his co-star, who he first met while finding fame on an ITV show. The 36-year-old ex-contestant was chatting to the singer-songwriter on his Radio 2 programme about her latest book when he burst into glowing praise. Rylan was speaking with former X Factor judge Tulisa, 37, following the launch of her new memoir 'Judgement: Love, Trials, and Tribulations', chronicling her life and career journey. Tulisa rose to stardom as the lead singer of N-Dubz, before penning several books and featuring on various TV shows including I'm A Me Out of Here!. Chatting to his friend on his BBC Radio 2 programme, fellow writer Rylan showered Tulisa with compliments over her book's brilliant reception. He said: "I've got to say I'm also an author, Tulisa. I'm also an author. So far, it's doing incredible, it's, like, on the Amazon best sellers list already. It's all kicking off. For anyone out there, we had this chat last night, you know I'm a Tulisa fan, I love you to bits. "But for anyone, you don't even need to know who you are to read this story, because it is so intense. It is literally, I can already see the film, clearly, it's going to be Jennifer Lawrence playing you." This marks another occasion the pair have supported one another in the chaotic realm of entertainment. In an Instagram post shared months ago, Rylan declared: "Never been prouder @tulisacontostavlos. From 2012 to now we've been through a lot and I'm so proud we stayed by each others side. Now it's time for everyone to know your truth. "We've never publicised it, we've just been there for eachother. I'm so happy your words will now be heard by everyone. Tulisa's book Judgement is out now x #Day1 x." In response, Tulisa replied: "Love you will all my heart you beautiful earth angel." (sic) In recent years Tulisa has spoken about the difficult period she endured in the public eye, saying that she had tried to end her own life following being deceived in a sting operation by 'Fake Sheikh' Mazher Mahmood. Although she faced charges for supplying class A drugs, her case was thrown out when it came to light that Mahmood had lied in court. She revealed that her "year from hell" had driven her to attempt suicide on two occasions. Discussing the ordeal on This Morning, Tulisa said: "The first attempt was quite light in a sense...I was very drunk and I wasn't sure, just go for it, I've had enough. "It was the second time that after the trial had finished then I had time to really process everything that happened was the real kicker. Surviving that was a miracle." When asked about her feelings in 2025, she said that there were long-term effects on how she interacted with people. Tulisa admitted: "I don't think I'll ever trust in the same way again but I am someone who has a logical head on their shoulders. I hope for the best in people I'm not a negative person, I'm not looking for negative things in someone."

Drag Race stars fight back tears as they pay tribute to late The Vivienne in trailer for new documentary
DRAG Race stars are seen fighting back tears as they pay tribute to The Vivienne in the trailer for a new documentary about the late star. James Lee Williams, 32, died from a cardiac arrest caused by the effects of taking the drug, it was revealed earlier this year. 10 10 10 10 The TV star, who won the first series of RuPaul 's Drag Race UK, was was found dead in the bath at home near Chester on January 5. James, who went by the pronouns they/them, was discovered by a neighbour after worried friends were unable to get hold of them. Now the first trailer for The Vivienne 's new documentary, which pays tribute to the much-loved star, has been released. Called Dear Viv, the BBC film celebrates the life of James and also hears from people who knew and loved them. The touching doc features interviews with their Drag Race friends, including Raja, Danny Beard, Michael Marouli, Cheryl Hole, Tia Kofi, and Baga Chipz. In one particular heartbreaking moment, Raja is seen attempting to hold back tears while preparing to speak to the cameras. Celebrity Big Brother star Danny Beard is also shown breaking down when asked to speak about James. The tear-jerking trailer comes to an end with a message from Viv, who is heard saying: "It's really nice to show people that you are a real person under all that glamour." FAMILY'S GRIEF In April, James' sister Chanel Williams opened about how their family "continue to be completely devastated". In a BBC Newsnight special, she candidly shared that the drag queen legend had hidden their substance struggles for years. Heartbreaking new details of The Vivienne's ketamine struggle revealed by family Chanel told how they only discovered James' addiction after they opened up about it on RuPaul's Drag Race in 2019. At the time, the drag star said: "I couldn't leave the drugs at the party, it was constant." They bravely revealed how Ketamine use saw them hospitalised three times in the space of a month. The Vivienne was commended at the time for raising awareness of substance abuse while appearing on the show. 10 10 Despite staying sober for period of time, James' family were unaware they had relapsed shortly before his death. Chanel told the BBC: "Had I asked the questions or just looked for the signs, would the outcome be different?' "He was at the height of everything he was doing and I think because he'd said it in such an open platform, it's really difficult to come back and say you're struggling again." The grieving sibling also questioned whether James' fame made them feel they had to hide away amid their relapse. Chanel continued: "To think that if we'd known, or if he'd have felt able to talk and really reach out for the help that was needed, the outcome could've been different." The family are now workin to raise awareness around the dangers of Ketamine - and see it changed to a Class A drug. Ketamine is used by vets as a horse anaesthetic but is misused as a party drug. STAR CAREER James shot to fame six years ago, when they won the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. The drag star went on to compete in an all-winners season of the franchise in the US in 2022 - the only Brit to do so. James also starred on BBC Three show The Vivienne Takes On Hollywood in 2020 and appeared on Channel 4 's Celebrity Hunted For Stand Up To Cancer two years then came third place on Dancing on Ice in 2023. 10 10
