Rylan Clark-Neal as Gareth Southgate

Remember how, for a brief moment this summer, we'd all convinced ourselves it was comin' home as England made it through to the World Cup semi-finals? Then they got kicked out and life sort of just...went back to normal?

Well we thought we'd relive the highs and lows all over again by getting our telly fave Rylan Clark-Neal to don a waistcoat (the M&S waistcoat) and do his best impression of England manager Gareth Southgate for heat's Stars Dress Up 2018.

Chatting on set, Rylan said: "I feel quite powerful, actually. I've got my tie, I've got my M&S waistcoat.

"I was an absolute lout and the World Cup. It's terrible. I was filming the day of the semi-final in another country and this just goes to show how much I've turned into a horrible person, but I nearly demanded a helicopter to get me back in time.

"I got back, luckily enough, three minutes before kick off.

"I just turned into one of those people that I hate. I was screaming. The language that was coming out of my mouth was terrible."

"You know I would do anything for heat. Two years ago, I went full frontal as a man when I was Orlando Bloom and the lovely David [Walliams] was Katy Perry, so I thought, "How can I push the boundaries? How can I stretch myself for the heat readers?"So, I went full frontal as a woman! And the experience was lovely, although I do wonder if J-Lo's cape was as itchy as this one. Honestly, it was so scratchy, it was as if my psoriasis had come back – like wearing green eczema. "Also, because I had no protection underneath, I felt like the material exfoliated my private parts – they're looking much younger now and have a vibrant glow."

"I loved dressing as Margot Robbie in I, Tonya – it's an amazing film. I want to keep the fringe – it's stunning and Wes is going to love it. "I couldn't believe when I found out Margot was a Love Island fan. She hasn't been in touch, but hopefully after seeing this, she will be. I'm going to tag the shit out of it on social media!"

"Theresa May coming on to Dancing Queen at the Tory Party Conference took some balls. It is actually one of my favourite songs – when you hear it, you have to get up and you cannot stop dancing. I like the awkwardness of the image, because it's like she's doing dad dancing even though she's a lady. "I think she was trying to embrace her fun side, but I'm not sure it totally came off. But, you know, this time next year, she's going to be on Strictly, so it's a good start!"

"This has been a dream come true. I bought my first-ever Victoria Beckham dress five years ago with the hopes of slimming into it. It was Β£3,000 and, spoiler alert, I never slimmed into it. But I bought another one and it's beautiful. She's very talented. "I've done such a good job, maybe Geri and Baby will call and be like, "Listen, Vicky B's not into it, what's Vicky P saying?" I don't know if you've heard, but I've got pretty free summer. Sign us up! I'll tour with the Spice Girls – just give a mic and turn it off."

"I feel quite powerful dressed as Gareth, I've got my tie and M&S waistcoat on – this is the outfit of the summer for me, I'm happy. "I was an absolute lout during the World Cup. I just turned into one of those people I hate – I was screaming, and the language that was coming out of my mouth was terrible!"
