Rylan Clark has hilariously recreated THAT emotional breakdown scene on the X Factor, when Nicole Scherzinger told him he’d made it through to the next round.
Back in 2012, Rylan entertained viewers as he was told that he had made it through to the live finals – and now Rylan and Nicole has spoofed that scene in the best way.
Appearing on ITV’s This Morning, Rylan told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, “This is your first look at the brand new Xtra Factor… and you might remember this a bit better than I do,” before playing the clip.
Rylan will now host The Xtra Factor with Matt Edmondson, and the pair have been getting to know their boss, Simon Cowell.
“He wasn’t on the show my year, it was Gary Barlow. Simon is the big boss, he calls all the shots and makes all the decisions but Simon’s the one person I have never worked with,” Rylan said.
“But, I interviewed him and the previous judges for the last series, before we did the interview he asked me how I had found the first episode. I asked if he wanted me to be honest, which he did, so I said, ‘I’m jealous, I wanted to be doing it myself’.
“He said, ‘I’ve got respect for you saying that because at least I know you’re honest’, so we’ve got on from then. He shook my hand at the six chair challenge just as he was going on stage and said, ‘Welcome home.’ My knees went funny!” he added.

Meanwhile, Matt has revealed that, despite initial perception, he doesn’t find Simon scary at all.
“I don’t find him scary at all, he’s like the most weirdly magnetic person I have ever met. He kind of sits in almost like a zen like state in the judges’ room.
“He’s doing the telly stuff but at the same time juggling a million other businesses and projects, but he stays so calm. I’m fascinated by him,” Matt said.
