Rylan Clark has broken his silence after days of backlash over his outspoken comments on UK immigration — and, in a surprising turn, a wave of  celebrity support has flooded in to stand by him.

The This Morning and Big Brother presenter faced fierce criticism online following his blunt remarks during a recent on-air discussion. But while some social media users called his words “divisive,” others — including some of Britain’s biggest  TV names — have come out in full support.

“You spoke your truth. That’s what makes you brave.”
Fans praised Josie for her quiet show of solidarity, with one commenting, “That’s what real friendship looks like.”
