Rylan Clark-Neal has been unveiled as a co-host on Strictly Come Dancing's It Takes Two, the main show's spin-off, alongside regular Zoe Ball. The BBC One programme took to Twitter this morning to share the news and welcome their newest recruit to the series:
The former X Factor contestant also released a statement: 'So excited to finally say I'm thrilled to be joining Team @bbcstrictly and can't wait to get my big old teeth stuck into hosting #ItTakesTwo alongside the gorgeous @ZoeTheBall. Thanks for trusting me with another one of your babies! Can't wait to get going! #DaDaDaDaDaDaDaaaaaa.'

Rylan is no stranger to spin-offs having previously presented Big Brother's Little Brother and The Xtra Factor. He has also had stints on This Morning, BBC Radio 2 and Celebrity Apprentice for Comic Relief. Strictly Come Dancing is also no alien to 'mischief'. From the alleged fling between Natasha Kaplinsky and Brendan Cole, to the infamous Seann Walsh and Katya Jones kiss which led to numerous tabloid headlines and an apology live on air. There was also rumours of a romance between Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell, with the two now dating. Talk about Strictly Come Drama...
