"Celebrity Big Brother producers have claimed that Rylan Clark&amp;#039;s X Factor rehearsals were approved prior to him entering the house. It emerged earlier today that the singer has been secretly exiting the compound to practice for the X Factor tour, which starts the day after the final in Manchester.  Bosses have confirmed that the rehearsals formed part of Rylan&amp;#039;s contract but insisted that he was banned from discussing the outside world with his choreographer. &amp;quot;It was agreed before Rylan entered the Big Brother house that he would be allowed to rehearse for his tour twice on-site with a choreographer,&amp;quot; a statement said. &amp;quot;This was agreed on the strict understanding that he was not allowed to discuss events in the Big Brother house with anyone during such rehearsal periods. &amp;quot;Rylan was escorted by a Big Brother producer at all times during rehearsal to ensure full compliance.&amp;quot; Some Celebrity Big Brother viewers called the move a &amp;quot;disgrace&amp;quot; and claimed that voters had been &amp;quot;manipulated&amp;quot; after news of Rylan&amp;#039;s secret exits broke.
