Fans rally around Rylan after vile Twitter comment

ITV television host Rylan Clark had to defend himself after vile Twitter troll questioned his priorities.

The 33-year-old had to clear the air after he was told to "grow up", suggesting he cared more about tattoos than the war in Ukraine. Rylan had previously posted an updated saying he was interested in a new piece of ink.

He said: "Think I want a tattoo….. is this midlife or…." Following the updated, a user named Keith Armstrong replied to Rylan to remind him of the casualties in Ukraine.

"People dying in Ukraine and you are mincing about dreaming of tattoos Grow up." he said. Not one to shy away from a confrontation, the Strictly Come Dancing host was quick to put Keith in his place.

Quoting the tweet, Rylan said: "U got any idea what I’ve done for the cause? No, because I don’t feel the need to plaster it all over social media so thanks and take care have a great eve." Keith failed to comment, but the reply invited a range of support from Rylan's followers.

Lady_Rachelle72 said: "Don't rise to it hun, im sure he is doing all he can for Ukraine too!!!" Missdmharding added: "I hope this has given you some inspiration to maintain your joy… folks don’t be a Keith, who is clearly very unhappy with his non mincing life!"

It comes after Rylan spoke last month about his mental health struggle following his break-up from estranged husband Dan Neal.

He said that he thought he was "too strong" to have a breakdown and that it "hit him like a baseball bat".
