Rylan Clark was left petrified after finding a grass snake in his home a year after it was invaded by another slithery fiend.
The TV presenter, 34, took to Instagram to plead with his followers for help after catching site of the wily reptile on his security cameras.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Rylan shared footage of the snake on his home that he captioned: ‘OH MY F***ING GOD. Noticed one of my cameras had moved. THAT B*****D IS BACK SEND HELP OMG.
‘THATS TWICE NOW WTF WHY IS THIS HAPPENING [sic].’
Expressing his shock, Rylan revealed he was hiding out away from the area because he ‘didn’t feel safe’ in his house, in Brentwood, Essex.

Despite calling in professional help, Rylan revealed the snake had managed to evade capture, sharing a video captioned: ‘Thanks @gtkanimals . Snake 1 Rylan 0.’
He explained: ‘We didn’t find the snake…the lovely people from GTK Animals, they have some zoo where they find alligators and stuff, I wasn’t really listening because my head… But we haven’t found the snake.’
‘I’ve come back in and I forgot that I left my belt on the kitchen side and it scared the s*** out of me.
‘So no update on the snake, but we’ve found the frog. So yeah…the snake lives another day.
‘I’ll be checking those cameras an we’ll go from there. I won’t be sleeping tonight, have a lovely night.’
Last summer, Rylan was faced with another visit from a footless intruder, asking fans: ‘Is it going to attack’ and complaining ‘this was why he shouldn’t live alone.’
Rylan posted a series of videos in the early hours that showed the snake slithering on the carpet, complaining he had no idea who to call to remove such an animal from his front room.
Sharing a series of videos of the snake last August, Rylan shouted: ‘A f****ng snake in my house – what do you do? What do you do?
‘Can someone tell me what do I do, I think this is why I shouldn’t live alone. I tried to touch it and now it’s moving! Oh my God what is this creature? Will it attack? I don’t know I can’t deal with it.’

Showing the snake slithering towards him Rylan added: ‘Guys it literally just went at me – no!’
Turning the camera on his terrified reaction, he added: ‘The snake it’s moved away, but I don’t think it’s gone out it’s gone in the doors. I’ve been googling can you get killed by them. Why is this happening why there is a snake in my house?
‘I knew there was a few snakes in Brentwood but I didn’t think there was actual snakes. You don’t need this on a hangover!’
Later Rylan shared another video telling fans he hadn’t seen the snake for over an hour, but he couldn’t sleep because he was ‘frightened it would come back.’
Later that month, Rylan was forced to face his fears live on This Morning as he was introduced to Saffy the python.
The presenter was visibly shaking when Saffy came out with a snake handler.
Rylan shouted ‘oh go away’ as the large reptile was brought out on the morning show.
He then drily quipped: ‘No, what are you doing?! I’ve not been on daytime for years and I’m gonna swear!’
The one-time Big Brother housemate said that he actually preferred Saffy to the grass snake he encountered at his home.
Rylan eventually brought himself to feel Saffy despite his phobias, but appeared to be shaken by the slithery encounter.
