Cast your mind back to the early 2010s when paparazzi shots ruled the front pages, and reality TV was turning ordinary people into stars overnight. From Big Brother and The X Factor to TOWIE and Made in Chelsea, our generation grew up at the peak of fame culture, raised on the idea that being famous was the ultimate dream.
Few people embody that era quite like Rylan Clark.
