Rylan confirmed: ‘I was a school kid. At Hill Top, I think the school was called. I had to take four days off school and get it signed off.
‘I had to learn Catch A Falling Star to sing it for the scene.’
Martine asked: ‘So you saw when I kissed Hugh?’ with Rylan confirming that he was there for the scene.
Elsewhere, Rylan is reportedly having another shot at singing and is flying to Los Angeles to record in a studio with a successful songwriter.
His music career sadly faltered in its early days when his run on The X Factor ended with an early elimination during the 2012 series.
But he took a break from his successful radio and TV career last month to head to California to work with music icon Diane Warren, according to The Sun.
Diane has been behind a string of huge hits including I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith, Cher‘s If I Could Turn Back Time and Rhythm Of The Night by DeBarge.
Rylan now looks set to join the prestigious list of greats who have worked with Diane, from Beyonce and Taylor Swift to Britney Spears and Whitney Houston.

An industry insider told The Sun of his new project: ‘His first love has always been music.
