British television personality Rylan Clark, known for hosting everything from This Morning to Dating Naked, is making an interstellar leap into the Whoniverse.
According to a teaser trailer released by the BBC, he will appear as himself in a new episode of Doctor Who focused on an epic “Interstellar Song Contest.”
In a striking red velvet suit, the 32-year-old queer star takes center stage beside a feline-like co-host, declaring, “Welcome… to the Interstellar Song Contest!”
Cheers erupt from an audience that includes humans and aliens alike, with one voice shouting, “I love a good show!”
A Eurovision Twist?
Fans of Rylan Clark know he has become a prominent fixture in BBC’s Eurovision coverage back on Earth, having served as a panelist on Eurovision: You Decide and later a co-commentator for the Eurovision semi-finals.
He also acted as a UK spokesperson for the main competition, bringing his signature wit and flair to the global stage.
Now, many speculate that the “Interstellar Song Contest” storyline in Doctor Who could mirror Rylan’s real-life Eurovision experiences, albeit on a cosmic scale.
Some fans even suspect the episode might air close to the actual Eurovision finals, fueling rumors that showrunner Russell T Davies is weaving a timely, tongue-in-cheek homage to the beloved singing event.

A Dream Come True
Sharing his excitement on social media, Rylan Clark described this cameo as a “dream come true.”
He wrote that he never imagined being part of the Whoniverse, especially in a storyline featuring a grand musical contest set among the stars.
As a self-professed fan of Doctor Who, Rylan noted that the script resonates with the show’s spirit of adventure, humor, and interplanetary surprises.
In interviews, he’s often joked about wanting to see karaoke or singing competitions appear on the TARDIS, so this cameo feels like a perfect alignment of his hosting skills and the show’s zany energy.
Ncuti Gatwa Returns
The upcoming season of Doctor Who, launching on April 12 in the UK and on Disney+ in the US, will mark Ncuti Gatwa’s second run as the Doctor.
Previews hint at dinosaur skeletons on the loose, Alan Cumming reprising a comedic villain role, and cameo appearances by Anita Dobson and Ariyon Bakare.
Yet it’s Rylan Clark’s hosting cameo that has fans buzzing about a possible “Eurovision in space,” blending the glitz of Earth’s favorite singing showdown with the limitless possibilities of time-traveling escapades.
Whether the Interstellar Song Contest becomes a new Whovian tradition or remains a one-off delight, viewers can expect a spectacle bursting with color, music, and that unmistakable Doctor Who whimsy.
If early reactions on social media are any indication, Rylan’s flamboyant flair may be just what the TARDIS ordered for an out-of-this-world season.
