TV and radio personality Rylan Clark found himself at the centre of an unusual controversy after police released an e-fit of a suspect resembling him in connection to an attack on a woman in Maidstone, Kent, in March. However, Clark swiftly denied any involvement, insisting that the individual in question was not him.
The suspect, described as a brunette with a beard, shares similar features with the 35-year-old entertainer, including facial hair and hairstyle. Fans of Clark were quick to notice the resemblance, prompting discussions on social media platforms.
Despite the uncanny likeness, Clark took to social media to clarify his innocence, posting a simple statement: “Wasn’t me.” His assertion was accompanied by an image of the e-fit, reinforcing his stance on the matter.
The ongoing investigation by the authorities involves the search for four individuals allegedly involved in the assault of a woman in Maidstone. According to reports, the group demanded the victim’s watch and resorted to violence when she refused to comply.
Fans of the star couldn’t help but draw comparisons between Clark and the e-fit suspect, with many expressing their surprise and amusement online. Some likened the suspect to a hybrid of Clark and fellow TV personality Simon Cowell, further fueling the conversation surrounding the incident.
Despite the humorous reactions online, the seriousness of the situation is not lost, as the hunt for the suspects continues. Clark’s swift denial serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information before jumping to conclusions, especially in the age of social media.
As the investigation progresses, authorities are urging anyone with information related to the case to come forward, emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in ensuring justice for the victim and apprehension of the suspects.
