Rylan Clark has been attacked by a bat.
Rylan Clark was attacked by a bat when he opened his front door
The 35-year-old TV presenter took to social media on Monday (08.01.24) to express his shock that he had just opened his door to have a bat swoop down and land straight on his hand and begged his followers for advice.
Speaking in a voice note posted to X, he said: "I opened my front door and something flew toward me and a bat landed on my hand. An actual bat. Like a real bat. It is five to five, I have not had a drink. This is not normal behaviour. Is it the snow? Can someone please tell me? Because bats do not come and land on your hand."
In a further update posted to the microblogging platform, the 'This Morning' host assured fans that he had not been "bitten or scratched" by the flying mammal but was keen to sanitize his hand as he questioned what was "wrong" with the animal.
He said: "I’ve not been bitten or scratched I don’t think but google is giving it- go to hospital. I’m just gonna dip my hand in alcohol gel. Like seriously what are the chances. What is wrong with all these animals."(sic)
The former 'X Factor' star posted another update to X - formerly known as Twitter - where he wrote in all capitals as he vented his frustration at the situation once again.
He wrote: "A F****** BAT JUST LANDED ON MY HAND WHAT THE F WHAT IS THIS.
"This ain’t normal surely WHY ME
"It’s snowing."
Rylan - who has become known for sporting a set of gleaming white teeth since having veneers fitted following his rise to fame - added: "Maybe this explains the teeth"
