Rylan Clark has confirmed that his time at\u00a0This Morning<\/em>\u00a0is over\u2014this time for good. After a whirlwind week of controversy, the\u00a0TV<\/span>\u00a0star revealed that his contract with ITV has officially been terminated following the backlash to his explosive remarks on immigration.<\/p>\n

In an emotional sign-off, Rylan, 36, told viewers on Friday:\u00a0\u201cAt last, I can finally breathe easy and speak out about those disgusting truths. I have no regrets for speaking up, even if it cost me my career. Thank you, everyone\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The announcement marks a dramatic end to his stint as stand-in host alongside Josie Gibson, who had been covering for Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard during their summer break. Josie responded on-air with:\u00a0\u201cWhat a week!\u201d<\/em>\u2014but fans had no idea that it would also be Rylan\u2019s last.<\/p>\n

The storm began earlier in the week when Rylan clashed with viewers over his take on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage\u2019s mass deportation plans. Speaking live on air, he questioned:<\/p>\n

\u201cHow come if I turn up at Heathrow Airport as a British citizen and I\u2019ve left my passport in Spain, I won\u2019t be let in? But if I arrive on a boat from Calais, I get taken to a four-star hotel?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rylan insisted that he was\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0against immigration, adding:\u00a0\u201cThis country is built on immigration\u2014legal immigration. They pay tax, they help our country thrive. But illegal routes? That\u2019s something we can\u2019t ignore.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He also highlighted what he saw as a growing injustice:\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019ve got people who have lived here all their lives struggling, while others are handed hotels, phones, even iPads. Something major has to change.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The remarks instantly divided audiences, with critics accusing him of spreading misinformation about asylum seekers in the UK. Social media erupted, and within hours, calls were mounting for ITV to act.<\/p>\n

On X, Rylan fought back, declaring:\u00a0\u201cYou can be pro-immigration and against illegal routes. You can support trans rights and respect women. You can be straight and support gay rights. The list goes on.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Rylan<\/em><\/p>\n

But by Friday, the damage was done. ITV confirmed behind the scenes that his role would not continue, with insiders revealing that the network and Rylan had \u201cmutually agreed\u201d to terminate his contract.<\/p>\n

Fans reacted with heartbreak. One wrote:\u00a0\u201cPlease keep Rylan and Josie on! They\u2019re the best duo in years.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Another added:\u00a0\u201cI won\u2019t be watching come next week\u2014he was the only reason I tuned in again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The news came just as former host Ruth Langsford teased her own return to the iconic sofa. Speaking to\u00a0The Mirror<\/em>, she hinted she\u2019d happily reunite with her \u201cTV son\u201d Rylan:<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Rylan. He\u2019s like my son. We\u2019ve worked together before, and I\u2019d do it again in a heartbeat. If ITV asked, I\u2019d be there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

However, with Rylan\u2019s future at ITV officially closed, fans are now left wondering: could the duo reunite on an entirely new project away from\u00a0This Morning<\/em>? Ruth teased that something might already be in the works.<\/p>\n

For now, one thing is clear: Rylan Clark is stepping away from daytime TV on his own terms\u2014louder, prouder, and with no regrets.<\/p>\n

This Morning<\/em>\u00a0continues weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX\u2014without one of its most outspoken stars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
