During the competition, Rik was told by Simon Cowell that he was "too much of a twat to be an idol". He made it into the final ten of the show but was forced to pull out due to a throat infection and was replaced by Darius Danesh. Following the show, Rik signed a one-album contract with EMI worth £400,000, with his first single being a cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You".
Although Rik initially won public admiration on Pop Idol, this quickly evaporated[citation needed]. He has since taken part in Celebrity Fit Club and Back To Reality.
After his contract with EMI finished, Rik formed his own band to take his music out on the road. Rik then signed an album deal with Red Admiral Records.
In October 2004 it was reported in the media that the Devon concert of Rik and his band's UK tour was cancelled because only two tickets were sold.
Rik's obesity has made him a prime target for critics, including the likes of Simon Cowell, and Jade Goody, who repeatedly dissed Rik on Back to Reality. His weight has also led to him being the butt of a lot of "fat" jokes.
His second album Innocence was released in September 2005. The band was re-named Rik Waller's Mighty Soul Band, but has been renamed yet again; the band is now known as Rik Waller's Unfinished Business (as reported on Rik's official website).
On February 28, Waller appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks not as a guest but as part of the identity parade for forgotten artists.

Sort of met Paul Whitehouse a while back, I work in a shopping center and suddenly heard a voice behind me asking me If I could help find a car in our car park, turning around as done many times before to help customers, it was Paul, with his wife and daughter, in shock, and sort of hyperventilating (been a bit of a fan for years) had a little conversation whilst helping, you know, sort of "oh what brings you to this neck of the woods", i think he said something like shopping, lol a bit obvious, but got him to his car and he thanked me then his little girl said bye as I was walking away, I looked back he was holding her hand and was encouraging her to wave, thoroughly bloody nice bloke, did not ask for selfie or autograph as, did not want to intrude on his privacy.
@gordonbennett5638
Brilliant!
@jimmymcguire8217
Like the tim nice but dim bit at the end haha
@sevenwatson5854
How cool!!
@neilhughes9566
Lovely story
@alexmousley7213
I can imagine Paul being very down to earth in real life, his characters often have a loveable side to them. I'm with you on how to be with famous people- treat them as anyone else, it's too tiring to expect them to be "always on"- they're entitled to a life outside of celebrity. Though this is sometimes easier said than done if you're a bit awestruck!
