Rylan Clark's two-word message for those that 'don't like him' as he addresses 'voice change'

Rylan Clark has shared a very simple message for those who 'don't like him' as he spoke about the change in his public persona over the decade he's been in the public eye.

It was back in 2012 that the TV and radio star burst onto our screens on The X Factor in 2012 where he was mentored by Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

There isn’t no way I couldn’t not be grounded from her."
