The 24-year-old singer will fill in for Richard Arnold next week while the presenter takes a break after his Strictly Come Dancing exit.
Clark said: 'I can't believe it. I only left X Factor a week ago and now I'm joining Lorraine and Aled on the Daybreak sofa.
'I'm a massive fan of the show and it's going to be so much fun sharing all the showbiz news and gossip with the nation each morning.
'I'm looking forward to keeping Richard's seat warm while he's swanning off on holiday, but I won't be asking for any dancing tips just yet!' he added.
And Arnold has wished his TV rival all the best.
He joked: 'The wonderful thing about this hurly burly business we call show is that you know ultimately you will one day be replaced by someone younger, thinner and - in this case - much taller than you.
'I wish Rylan all the best in his new role at Daybreak.'
Rylan will present the showbiz slot on the ITV1 breakfast show at 7.50am from Monday to Friday next week.
