Are you ready for a reality show that throws away the rulebook and pushes contestants to their limits? Well, Rylan Clark has just the treat for you with his latest hosting gig on Prime Video’s new series, “Hot Mess Summer.” This show takes eight party-loving singles on a journey to the vibrant party island of Zante, Greece. But here’s the twist – they won’t be lounging by the pool sipping cocktails. Oh no, they’ll be working in a bar, serving drinks and scrubbing bathrooms for their six-week summer adventure.
Rylan, known for his friendly and affable personality, admits that being tough with the contestants is not his style. He’s all about encouragement and ensuring everyone has a great time. However, he warns that if you cross him, he can unleash his inner a**hole. But don’t worry, what you see of Rylan on TV is pretty much what you get in real life, minus the TV smile and elevated voice pitch.
After a break from reality TV, Rylan is excited to be back in the saddle. Although he won’t be returning to “Strictly Come Dancing” anytime soon, he still feels a strong connection to the contestants on “Hot Mess Summer.” He even compares his bond with them to a big brotherly relationship, having previously appeared on shows like “Celebrity Big Brother.” For Rylan, this new venture allows him to rediscover the spirit of reality TV he deeply missed.
The cast for “Hot Mess Summer” is a bunch of sexy singles, each with their own unique personalities and quirks. With a potential prize pot of £60,000, they’ll face weekly challenges and be tipped money by VIP guests. Rylan admits it’s not easy finding contestants who aren’t “trained” in reality TV, thanks to growing up with shows like “Love Island” and having a knack for saying and doing the right things. But what makes a great show is when contestants let loose and show their true selves.
Joining Rylan as co-host is Lee Baldry, a hospitality consultant and former star of the ITV game show “Quizmania.” The duo aims to bring their own brand of entertainment to the screen, although Lee jokes that they may not quite reach the heights of Ant and Dec due to their significant height difference. But hey, it’s all part of the fun!
So, get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, wild parties, unexpected connections, and plenty of drama as the contestants navigate their way through “Hot Mess Summer.” You won’t want to miss a minute of the action. Catch all the excitement starting Wednesday on Prime Video.
