A FLAMBOYANT X Factor contestant who divided the nation will pay a visit to Bournemouth next week.
Rylan Clark, left, famous for his slicked-back hair, beard and tight trousers, will be at V nightclub, above, on Monday, December 17.
The 24-year-old from Essex failed to beat boy band Union J to a spot in the X Factor finals after singing Mamma Mia by ABBA and a medley of Supremes songs, then Wires by Athlete in the sing-off.
The singer drew constant criticism from judge Gary Barlow who labelled him as “a joke act”.
However, he also gained an army of fans for his entertaining performances, including his take on chart hit Gangnam Style by South Korean rapper Psy.
