Rylan Clark split the judge’s votes at his X Factor 2012 Audition

23-year-old Rylan Clark, split the panel after his X Factor 2012 audition in London.

The former model from Essex revealed to the panel that he’s always been a bit of a wannabe popstar.

“I’m all about Ibiza to be honest, a bit of a Tulisa kid to be perfectly honest,” he said. “I used to be in a boy band in Ibiza a couple of years ago and I was in a Take That tribute band…and a Westlife funnily enough. Double bubble!

The hopeful then launched into a rendition of ‘Kissing You’ by Des’ree.

Guest judge Rita Ora told him: “You know what, you are really really fun and I want to see what else you got. I’m a Rylan fan.”

Gary Barlow said: “Rylan, love your personality, hate your voice, really strange song choice as well.”

Tulisa continued: “I’m an Ibiza girl so I love the fact that you’ve brought a bit of Ibiza to us today, I mean your fun, it is a bit… what’s the word I’m trying to look for… cabaret?”

Louis looked most disappointed and said: “Rylan I am confused, I really am, I think your interesting, I think your fun, I think you’ve got a great personality, I think your voice is okay, but I’m just a bit worried.”
