Rylan added that in addition to writing the songs, he'd also leant his vocals to some of them.

"I'm not ready for that yet," he says, adding: "Honest truth, because I think where I started out on X Factor and I had a very easy role to play on that show and that was be the one that everyone talks about.
"My job wasn't to sing on X Factor. I think if Joe Public read tomorrow 'Rylan's bringing out a CD' people would go 'shut up' and it would already be prejudged."
Rylan auditioned for The X Factor in 2012 and finished the competition in fifth place. The following year he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and won the show, going on to present it's spin-off show for the following series.
Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour streams on BBC iPlayer and airs on BBC Two on Sundays at 9pm.
