Rylan Clark has suggested that he has more talent than Gary Barlow, because of his energetic performances.

Speaking to Heat magazine, Rylan said: “To be perfectly honest, Gary ain’t really of concern to me in the slightest. Some things I do think he goes a bit far with. There’s a difference between being critical and having a dig. Why would you kick me in the mouth as I’m about to leave?

“What Gary doesn’t remember is when he first started out he was the one doing photo shoots with his arse out and stuff. Everyone’s got to start somewhere. Gary doesn’t dance around on stage. Anyone who can sing and dance at the same time… in my eyes, that’s more of a talent than just standing there.”

Rylan also said how he doesn’t understand why there is such a big backlash about him being on the show.

He continues: “I’m not a murderer, I’ve done nothing wrong. There are some times when you’re in a bit of a state and you feel upset. If other people got a millionth of the messages I’ve been getting, it would probably kill them… to the point where they wouldn’t leave the house.”
