Rylan's mum revealed her son's name on Channel 4's Celebrity Gogglebox on Friday (July 1) night, which left fans baffled. The channel aired a special episode to celebrate Pride.
Linda sparked concern during the episode as she was seen with a feeding tube, but she nestled down to watch television with son Rylan. She revealed his name is not actually Rylan when they were chatting away, reports Birmingham Live.
Linda accidentally blurted out his real name - 'Ross' - which was a surprise to many viewers. Rylan has actually had three names over his life.

He was given the name Ross on his birth certificate when he was born, but was asked to change it as he started out in an early career. When he signed up for a modelling agency he was told Ross was boring, and was known as Kielan instead.
Then while visiting a branch of WH Smith, the budding star flicked through a baby name book to the 'R' section when he stumbled on the name Rylan and adopted it. Gogglebox viewers were stunned by the revelation. @marcella_mcb asked: "How did I not know Rylan's real name was Ross after all these years? #CelebrityGogglebox." @helenstebb said: "Rylan's mum calling him Ross (his real name) just then #CelebrityGogglebox."
