See Rylan Clark dressed as Conchita Wurst

By Sam Rigby

Rylan Clark has admitted that he got around 20,000 Twitter followers after Conchita Wurst’s Eurovision victory – because people thought he was the Austrian drag queen.

The Big Brother’s Bit on the Side host said that he finds the similarity “hilarious”, and got dressed up as the singer for the latest issue of Star magazine.

He said: “I make a better Conchita than Conchita! Look at me!”

On whether he’d consider entering Eurovision, he explained: “I wouldn’t do it in a dress or a wig, but I would still love to do it. People think Eurovision is muggy, but it’s not! If my song goes to No.1 in Sweden, hello… minted!”

The full interview and photo shoot with Rylan appears in the new issue of Star magazine, which is out now.
