Presenter’s followers said they were ‘howling’ over his comeback

Rylan Clark left his followers “howling” on Tuesday (8 March) with his response to an internet troll who called him a “chav sl*t”.

Clark retweeted the comment and replied: “Well.., ya dad seemed happy when he left mine last night.”

The presenter’s followers were delighted with the comeback, with ballroom dancer James Jordan writing: “Bloody love this.”

Presenter Steph McGovern commented: “I am howling.”

Dominic Byrne, a newsreader on the Chris Moyles Breakfast Show, replied: “Just thought I’d mention that I think you’re bloody brilliant.

“You should be hosting GMB too – you’d be great with @susannareid100. Anyway – ignore the nob heads.”

Good Morning Britain host Reid then retweeted Byrne’s comment, showing her support for the idea.

Clark recently gave fans an update on his health after he was hospitalised for a mysterious illness.

During an appearance onThe One Show last month, Clark told host Alex Jones that he is feeling better.

“I just love a little drama,” he joked. “I’m good now, thank you, I had a little bit of a dodgy time but I’m good.”
