Writing on Twitter today he said: “After 8 years. It hurts, so much, but sometimes you just have to let go.

“I’ve taken the decision to say goodbye… to my teeth new smile imminent.”

This Morning star Alison Hammond characterised much of the reaction, replying with a horrified: “Nooooooooooooo .”

Fans were stunned too – with some joking they needed to be donated to the V&A museum in London as a piece of British history.

One told the star: “Nice one babe-you’ll be handsome whatever gnashers you have.”

Former EastEnders actor Danny Hatchard joked: “Thank f**k, I’ll take my shades off next time I see ya x.”

Rylan, no stranger to poking fun at his own teeth, revealed they helped him out after getting them done before his first major TV gig after The X Factor.

He told Notebook in 2017: “I got my veneers finished the day before I started hosting Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, my first presenting job.

“My mouth was swollen from the anaesthetic, they were brilliant-white, brand new.

That was the first night everyone saw them , and all people did was take the p**s out of my teeth.

“So no one realised I was a s*** presenter, and by the time they stopped talking about my teeth a few months later, I’d got better at the job.”

In 2016 he joked: “My biggest mistake was my teeth but, to be fair, they’ve earned me a lot of money.”

Ryaln shot to fame in the 2012 series of The X Factor where he finished ninth, before going on to win Celebrity Big Brother.

Later that year he got a job hosting its spin-off show Bit On The Side and now fronts shows including Supermarket Sweep and Ready Steady Cook.
