Rylan fans shocked as his 'real hair' is revealed in pre-fame throwback | The Sun
RYLAN left fans doing a double take after photos of his real hair resurfaced.
The TV presenter, 34, is known for his raven tresses and jet-black beard, so fans were stunned to learn that he's naturally a redhead.
Rylan previously admitted he didn't feel confident as a ginger and dyed his hair after being bullied for his looks.
"I was the fat, ginger kid at school. The first three years of school was hard and then I was like, 'I'm gay now, get over it.' It was taunting and very difficult," he told The Sun.
"I just got to a point where I thought 'f***k off', if anyone said anything to me I'd give it to them straight back."
Despite getting Botox, fillers and veneers to transform his image, he previously said he'll always being unhappy with his appearance – after vicious school bullies left him with insecurities.
