He's next in the chair for a grilling!
Last updated 4 hours ago
The Assembly has totally gripped the hearts of the nation. The innovative interview series, which first aired in 2025, sees famous faces take no-holds-barred questions from people who are 'autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled'.
After the first series saw the likes of Danny Dyer, David Tennant, JADE and Gary Lineker go under the spotlight, the second series has proven even more popular with Stephen Fry, Nicola Sturgeon, Lenny Henry, Anna Maxwell Martin and Aitch getting a grilling - and now the final celebrity has been confirmed.
Who is the final celebrity on The Assembly?
ITV have revealed that the last celebrity to be interviewed on the second series of The Assembly will be Rylan. Best known as a presenter, Rylan shot to fame on The X Factor in 2012 and has gone on to present the likes of This Morning, Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two as well as Eurovision.
Show bosses say of the episode: 'Now, it’s time for Rylan to leave the PR training at the door and face a remarkable group of inquisitive interviewers as they put their unique questions to him.'
When does Rylan's episode of The Assembly air?
ITV haven't confirmed exactly when Rylan's episode will air, but they have said it will be towards the end of May.
Where can I watch it?
It will be available to watch across ITV1 and ITVX, STV and STV Player.
What is The Assembly about?
ITV say: 'The series sees celebrities being questioned by a remarkable group of inquisitive interviewers who are autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled. Each episode of The Assembly sees a different celebrity forced to cast aside everything they were ever taught by their media trainers as they face their most honest, funny, chaotic – and heartwarming – interview yet.
'The list of subject matters for our unique collective to explore is endless. No area is out of bounds and no question is off the table. Carefully considered PR fluff won’t cut it on this show!'
