Rylan had to make a mad dash to the BAFTA Awards hours after hosting the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden last night with Scott Mills.
The 35-year-old TV and radio star hosted coverage of last night’s singing competition on BBC Radio 2. But less than 24 hours later he was on a plane back to the UK as the BAFTAs - celebrating the crème de la crème of TV - takes place later tonight.
Posting a quick snap from a cab, Rylan told his 2.2 million Instagram followers in his stories: “EUROVISION Malmo Sweden > BAFTAS London UK.” His turnaround was so quick he didn’t even have time to go home first and was spotted arriving at the London hotel where all the stars are staying.
There for a clothes fitting so he looks the part later on, Rylan was seen picking out an outfit and going into the disabled toilets to try it on as there were no rooms left available at the star-studded hotel.
Fans can tune in to watch the programme from 7pm on BBC One, which will be broadcast live from the Royal Festival Hall on London’s Southbank and hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.

Ncuti Gatwa’s unveiling as the 15th Time Lord in , Logan Roy’s shocking death in Succession and ’s teasing of wife Victoria about her “working-class” upbringing and now infamous Rolls Royce confession in their Neftlix documentary are among the stand-out scenes in the running for the P&O Cruises memorable moment award.
