Rylan Clark was overcome with emotion when he was reunited with a familiar friendly face.<\/p>\n

Michael McIntyre\u2019s Big Show<\/a> is Saturday night\u2019s primetime series where the comic plays various silly games and pranks on celebrities and audience members.<\/p>\n

One of the BBC<\/a> show\u2019s most popular segments is the game Remember Me? which sees a celebrity come face-to-face with people from their past and they have to recall who they are.<\/p>\n

This week, it was presenter and TV personality Rylan Clark<\/a>\u2019s turn to sit in the hot seat where he was reunited with a series of guests, including former X Factor<\/a> star Gathan Cheema.<\/p>\n

But it was the last guest, his former theatre school teacher Yvonne, who really caught his eye.<\/p>\n

As soon as she walks through the door, Rylan couldn\u2019t help but beam before covering his face and mumbling \u201cOh my God\u201d.<\/p>\n

When Yvonne asks if she remembers him, Rylan nods with a big smile as Michael points out that he knew it \u201coff the bat\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rylan confirms: \u201cI do. It\u2019s Yvonne\u201d, and it is at this point that she starts tearing up at the realisation that her former pupil remembers her.<\/p>\n

She tells him: \u201cI\u2019m so proud of you\u201d, with Rylan emotionally replying: \u201cOh don\u2019t you\u2019re going to get me going. That\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yvonne says: \u201cYou\u2019re wonderful. We\u2019re so proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teary-eyed, Rylan tells her: \u201cOh my God I\u2019ve stopped singing for so many years. Are you well?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yvonne smiles even wider and holds out her arms as she exclaims: \u201cHere I am!\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeing how happy the reunion made them, Michael shouts up to the balcony: \u201cRylan come down, it\u2019s gone all emosh!\u201d<\/p>\n

While they wait for him to make his way to the stage, Yvonne tells Michael as she wipes away her tears: \u201cI knew him when he was 12-years-old. It\u2019s a long time. I trained him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael then jokes: \u201cCan you be sure it was him?\u201d, referring to the old pictures he showed to the audience of Rylan as a child with ginger hair.<\/p>\n

When the former Celebrity Big Brother<\/a> winner makes it to the stage, he warmly hugs Yvonne, telling her: \u201cYou look exactly the same\u201d, as she cheekily says: \u201cI\u2019m not sure you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continues: \u201cCongratulations. You\u2019re fantastic. I\u2019m so proud of you. Love to your mum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael comments: \u201cIt\u2019s so, so nice you can see Yvonne again and what\u2019s so nice is how proud she is of you Rylan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho wouldn\u2019t be? He\u2019s done amazing. He\u2019s flown\u201d, Yvonne chips in, causing the audience to swoon.<\/p>\n

Yvonne and Rylan then head off stage hand-in-hand and he can be heard saying: \u201cCome on, let\u2019s catch up!\u201d<\/p>\n
