Rylan Clark has admitted he was left “stunned” after he underwent a pyschic reading which predicted he would end up with some huge health problems in his future.
Rylan Clark has admitted that a recent trip to see an astrologer left him reeling, when it was predicted he would face major health problems in his future.
The TV personality was filming for his new BBC show, Passage To India, alongside best pal Rob Rinder when they took the trip, which was caught for the show, as the latter says: “Usually when something is funny in real life, it can’t possibly be as funny when you watch it back, but that really was the funniest moment for me.
“For me, astrology is absurd, woo woo, a bucket load of horse s**t, and I was really worried because I wanted to explore those ideas about going to India for enlightenment, but he wanted to go to an astrologer.”

After Rylan phones his beloved mum Linda to get his time and place of birth for the reading, it all descends into chaos.
Astrologer Professor Vinod Shastri then tells Rylan he should expect to have teeth, lung and leg problems in the future, reveals that in Rylan’s past life he had many relationships and also tells the TV presenter that he has a “slightly psychotic problem”, much to Rob’s amusement.
“I was so excited. And the s**t he came out with,” Rylan says, laughing. “And to make matters worse, when I got back, my mum told me she got my time of birth wrong, she had mixed it up with my brother’s. So it was all b******s anyway!”
Rob wasn’t spared from having his own embarrassing moments in India, most notably when he ended up rapping in a marketplace in central Delhi after meeting a rapper called Naveen Koomar. It was an experience he describes as “horrific”.
“I like grime artists and I got so excited, but I was like David Brent on steroids,” he says. “There are no protrusive parts of my body left to cringe with when I watch it back. But I am glad I took part.”
The pair previously won a TV BAFTA for their Grand Tour series, with Passage To India a continuation of the series. And now, they’re hoping that Passage To India is as well-received as Grand Tour , and that it could lead to a third trip together.
However, while the first two series were inspired by Rob’s literary heroes, it’s unlikely that a third would focus on a literary choice of Rylan’s.
“I’ve only ever written and read my own book!” Rylan says. “Where would we go? Maybe Marbella – someone must have written a novel about Marbella. Then we could spend a few nights outside the Sinatra bar, days sitting round the pool…”
Rob and Rylan’s Passage To India is on Sunday 14 Sep, 9pm, BBC Two
