I love Rylan too. I love his radio show - it’s one of my favourites and throughout lockdown etc it’s one of the few things that’s made me feel calm and relaxed; like being with friends! He’s a natural.
I was talking to my dad about him recently actually and said that Rylan really has that “star quality”— hard to quantify, but whatever it is, he’s got it. I think he’ll have a long career and it seems like whatever he does (interviewing, presenting, radio, adverts!) he does a great job.
Oh, I just remembered I’ve got a Rylan behind the scenes story! A friend of mine was in the audience for a recording of Ready Steady Cook. It took 4 hours per episode and she (and her mum) were there for 2 episodes. She said that between takes and breaks etc, Rylan was in the audience chatting to people (pre covid, obviously!) and just generally lovely, funny and kind!
