He said: "I think I should be made the mayor of Essex"
To which presenter Alex Moore, who is in the first year of his film and television course at University of Essex, asked: "Is that an actual thing?"
Rylan, seemingly unaware of the county's political structure, replied: "I think there is a mayor. I want the chains and I want the key to Essex so I can just go to Lakeside at two in the morning if I want.
"I want it to be official – that's what I'm aiming for."
