Smirking Rylan Clark is laden with booze as he cradles Merlot

He rang in his 33rd birthday in boozy style over the weekend. 

And the party wasn’t stopping for Rylan Clark as he stepped out for a quick alcohol run on Thursday, when he spotted leaving a Tesco branch laden with wine. 

The former X Factor star cut a low-key figure with sunglasses and a baseball cap shielding his face yet he was turning his heads with his grocery run – comprising four bottles of Merlot wine, which he cradled in his arms.

Rylan was showing off his trendy style as he emerged in a black and white striped jumper with eye-wateringly tight jeans and boots. 

He wore his dark locks tucked beneath the white baseball cap while adding some A-list glamour with the oversized sunglasses. 

During his birthday celebrations earlier in the week and last weekend, the presenter quipped: ‘I’ve come across a lot of idiots this year!’ alluding to his use of and eventual ban from Tinder following his marriage split with husband Dan Neal. 

The star recently revealed he was banned from Tinder after the dating app mistakenly thought he was a catfish.

Rylan took to his Instagram Stories and shared a snap that showed his profile had been deleted for violating the app’s terms of service.

Rylan captioned the photo: ‘Catfish’ along with a laughing emoji.  

According to The Mirror, Rylan’s Tinder profile read: ‘Tall normal bloke – 6’4′ – am I actually on this thing?’ At the Attitude Awards earlier this month, Rylan joked about joining gay dating app Grindr following his split.

He said: ‘Sorry, I was a little bit distracted. I was trying to download Grindr. It’s been 10 years! What a year.’ 

He appeared to reference his marriage split in the speech and thanked Steps star Claire Richards for supporting him.

Taking to Twitter last week, he assured his fans that he is ‘good’ by writing: ‘Couple of news stories today. Be assured, I’m good. I wasn’t, but I am now x’. 

The reassurance came after Rylan was said to have ‘broke down during his Radio 2 show’ last month which led to producers ‘holding a crisis meeting’.
