Rylan’s fans were quick to compare the presenter’s dramatic new look with other celebrities known for their long locks. “JONATHAN VAN NESS???” wrote a fan, referring to a similarity to the weird eye star.
“Conchita is you,” another follower commented, mentioning 2014 Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst. There was an additional Eurovision similarity, with one Instagram user saying Rylan looked “virtually Sam Ryder’s twin”.
Other comparisons included country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Gucci House actor Jared Leto.
Some of Rylan’s famous friends also gave their thoughts on the star’s new look. “Yassss,” commented Blue Boy Band member Duncan James. Meanwhile, Steps singer Claire Richards wrote, “F**k’s sake,” alongside two laughing emojis.

Rylan and Rob Rinder will venture to Venice, Florence and Rome for the series.
The new travel show is just one of two exciting new roles for Rylan, who has stepped down as You only need two host in April. X factor Star Fleur East has since been announced as her replacement.
