Rylan Clark-Neal aiming to get Xtra Factor sack

Rylan Clark-Neal and Matt Edmondson are planning to get sacked from the ‘Xtra Factor’ before the end of the series.
The presenting duo – who have taken over from Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom on the spin-off – are adamant they will not be holding back on their wild antics when the live shows kick off on Saturday (27.08.16) and are convinced they’re going to be dropped before their stint has ended.
Speaking at the launch for the main show ‘The X Factor’ on Thursday (25.08.16), Rylan said: "We’re very much knowledgeable that this is a one year thing so we’re going to go out with a bang. We’re actually aiming to get sacked before the end of the series. We’re just going to enjoy it."
And the hilarious duo aren’t holding back on their outrageous language either and have admitted the person in the box bleeping out their foul-mouthed words will certainly struggle.
He explained: "We’ve got Joycie in the box, I think we’ve got a one-second delay and we’re going to get away with so much because she won’t be able to keep up with that button."
However, Louis Walsh won’t be happy if Rylan does get the axe as he had to "bully" Simon Cowell into giving him the job.
Rylan said: "Louis did bully Simon for about three years. But this show is nothing without Louis Walsh. He’s older than water but we love him. We love him!"
‘The X Factor’ returns to screens on August 27 and 28 at 8pm on ITV.
