Rylan's Chat Show 'Up Late With Rylan' Receives Mixed Response From Viewers

He wasn't too happy with the first episode either.

Rylan Clark-Neal has admitted he was unhappy with his chat show debut, as the first episode of 'Up Late With Rylan' divided viewers on Monday (9 May).

The former 'X Factor' star claimed his new Channel 5 show felt "rushed", as viewers saw him interview the likes of Alesha Dixon and Keith Lemon.

"Tonight felt a bit rushed to me. We will change this for tomorrow. We're just finding our feet Thanks for tuning in and lots of love."

And viewers were equally unsure of the new show, which will air from Monday to Thursday throughout May.

I like rylan on #cbb but this #UpLateWithRylan is just a horrible rabble & ry is faking his "chat show host" too hard #cringe all round TBH

America have Colbert, Fallon and Kimmel as late-night chat show hosts.

We have Rylan. #UpLateWithRylan

Nice to see Channel 5 commission a Mon-Thu chat show. Up Late with Rylan has the right talent, just let him do more & be more 'Rylan'.

Rylan previously admitted he was hoping 'Up Late' would become the UK's answer to James Corden's US chat show 'The Late Late Show'.

"We haven't got that sort of thing here that you can just watch if you're a bit of a night owl, or you've just got in from a night out," he said.

"I'm always searching for something to watch at that time of night. So this is going to be a late night destination. Just like 'This Morning' is a staple of your morning, this is going to be a staple of your late night. It's something that's not been done for about 20 years."
