He continued, "A massive thank you to everyone for a great week. We've had such a lovely time. Joel Dommett and Rochelle [Humes] are gonna be here on Monday."
Josie chimed in with the news: "Yes, and they'll be joined by Sam Thompson, who'll have all the latest showbiz gossip."
Rylan chimed in again: "That's all coming up Monday. But for now, one last song for us, and this is for our lovely producer Nicole who heads off today to get married! Good luck, we love you and we'll see you soon! Thank you for joining us," reports the Mirror.

In related news from the show, Rylan hinted at the possibility of remarrying in the future, mentioning: "I mean, if I was to ever do it again, I'd be like, 'I won't tell anyone, we'll just get someone round to the house'. We'll be in our pants. I do - ta-da. Done it."
Reflecting on his separation from former partner Dan Neal, Rylan shared an amusing anecdote: "I didn't realise I'd actually booked a venue for my 10th wedding anniversary. I got an email a couple of months back asking, 'Do you still want this venue?' I was like, 'no!' I was like, 'I forgot'. I've lost my deposit and all!"
