Rylan wasn't Christopher's biggest fan, especially on X-Factor. Rylan thought Christopher was a total fake.
It was nice to see Rylan giving Christopher a big hug, looked pretty genuine too
Maybe after this they will become good friends

I'm not sure he has!

Before he went in very few had heard of him, now he's come out (of the house), I suspect the great british public will still have no idea who he is, or any opinion of him

I don't watch X factor.........anymore !!!

He came across as one of the nicer and more real characters. I thought that he might go, though - because most of the other HM's have a SL in there.

He didn't play the game - so was eliminated. I wish him all the luck for the future x

I personally think he just wanted people to like him again after the hatchet job he received from Adolf Cowell and co - and I think he's done just that.

Seriously Rylan calling someone from the X factor fake ,does he not remember his ridiculous meltdown when he was put through,some people have short memories,same as when David praised him for saying he was taken if I remember right he didn't mind taking someone's fiancé .

Were they in competition with each other, I don't watch xfactor? If so, there's your answer.

I couldn't believe it when he went in as a Z librity but must admit my mind has changed. He seems a nice kind guy. But nice doesn't win on CBB

To be fair, the majority of the housemates are so vile its not hard to look good in there. He is "acting" just as he wants us all to see.

At least he was on x factor. Putting Jeremy in celeb big bro really takes the micky. He is beyond z list.

He just seemed like a desperately unhappy man to me. Searching for something in fame that ultimately needs to come from within.

Yes, they were in same series. Rylan went out first, and Chris managed to get to the final.

If I remember correctly, Rylan was slated to be the 'joke act', but he went out fairly early on. Chris was then targeted as the 'joke act', but he was doing well in the public vote, so Cowell et al panicked and started with the drip-feed of negative comments, bizarre song choices/staging (Fernando and Total Eclipse Of The Heart being two examples) and leaked stories to the media.

I think Chris came across well in CBB - he seemed to embrace the experience and was generally positive.

He's someone I would be more inclined to be friends with in the house but I don't understand the love for him. His over the top fake laughing at things the others said annoyed me. He played it pretty safe throughout and seems like he would rather sit on the fence than give his real opinion of people.

lovely decent person

Couldn't agree more with all the OPs who said what a nice, decent, genuine guy he seems.......probably why he was voted out. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone......a few carefully crafted home truths maybe. I hope he gets lots of positive feedback recognition and work from this and that he is happy. Good Luck Chris!
