Vernon Kay warns Rylan Clark 'behave yourself' after fearing 'trouble'
Rylan Clark, who is providing commentary for the Eurovision semi-final alongside his Radio 2 colleague, Scott Mills, made the comment as they welcomed Vernon Kay into the studio
Rylan Clark has insisted that he's "doing nothing wrong" after being warned to "behave" over his Eurovision antics.
In a recent broadcast of Scott Mills' BBC Radio 2 show, he and Scott could be heard chatting to their colleague, Vernon Kay, as they passed the microphone over to him for the next on-air slot.
Rylan and Scott, on BBC commentary duty for the semi-final tonight ( May 15), revealed they were meeting a musician called Vincent Gross.
Scott explained that they'd be meeting Vincent that day, whose track is titled 'Drinking Wine Feeling Fine', and they intended to be "drinking wine and feeling fine" themselves.
He reassured listeners they'd be okay for the show the following morning at 6.30am. In the background, however, Rylan could jokingly be heard saying that he "won't" be and he's "not coming" as Scott welcomed Vernon into the studio.

Meanwhile, Vernon, whose train was delayed, asked the pair if this was where the "trouble starts", to which Scott replied that it had "already begun". Soon after, Rylan interjected: "If only you knew, Vern."
Vernon replied: "No, I don't need to know, Rylan, but I'm using my imagination." Scott then suggested that Vernon come to Basel as the trains there are "prompt".
In response, Vernon asked them to give his regards to Vincent, to which Scott inquired if the musician had been messaging him as well, with Vernon confirming that he had.
Scott said that he "loves" them all and is "so excited". Vernon cut in by telling Rylan to "behave" himself. Rylan replied: "I'm doing nothing wrong, alright?"
Eurovision fans can review all 37 competing countries in the semi-finals (an earlier one was held on Tuesday, May 13) prior to the grand final on Saturday, May 17. Ten countries from each semi will be among those battling it out.

Tonight's semi will feature the UK entry, Remember Monday, with their song 'What The Hell Just Happened?' Despite this, the UK, being one of the Big Five nations (along with Italy, Germany, Spain, and France), will automatically qualify for the final.
Speaking previously about Remember Monday, Scott said people were "sleeping on our entry" this year. If the country-pop trio scooped the glass microphone, it would make them the first UK act to win since Katrina And The Waves in 1997.
Scott said: "But I really think people are sleeping on our entry a little bit because these girls can sing, they've got harmonies, like the best Wilson Phillips record ever. They have history in musical theatre, so they know how to perform, both to a TV camera and to a crowd, and it's a dramatic song, so I have high hopes. I think they're brilliant and I wish them the best of luck."
