Rylan Clark expressed his love and support for his celebrity friends on social media. He recently wished a happy birthday to Ruth Langsford, who celebrated her birthday yesterday. Rylan shared a selfie with Ruth on Instagram, saying, "Happy birthday to the TV mum. Love you the world @ruthlangsford." He explained that the post didn't upload on her actual birthday, as Ruth reminded him about it. Rylan and Ruth have developed a close friendship. They have worked together on "This Morning" and enjoy spending time together, including a fun night out in January where they shared videos of each other dancing. Ruth referred to Rylan as her "TV son," and she also reposted Rylan's birthday message, calling it "better late than never." Rylan also celebrated Emma Willis's birthday today, calling her his "TV wife." He joked, "Wouldn't wanna be married to anyone else. Don't tell Matt." Rylan and Emma have collaborated on various shows like "Big Brother" and "This Morning" and remain good friends. Additionally, Rylan shared a lighthearted conversation he had with Alison Hammond, another friend and co-worker from "This Morning." Alison wanted to know her status in Rylan’s family of TV characters. Rylan decided to christen her as his "TV sister." In a career update, Rylan announced he will appear in an upcoming episode of "Doctor Who." He will play himself as the host of an Interstellar Song Contest in a special episode airing during the Eurovision song contest in May. Rylan expressed his excitement, saying it's a dream come true for him as a fan of the show. He described the episode as having all his favorite elements, adding that it's going to be "out of this world."
