TV presenter Rylan Clark has finally opened up about the rumours surrounding his relationship with Rob Rinder.
The two are currently sharing the screen on Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour – a travelogue that sees them journeying through Italy.
Since the show was announced, fans have been speculating about whether there could be something more going on with Rylan and Rob.
However, Rylan took to X – formerly Twitter – this week to put those rumours to rest.
To the journalist that just doorstepped my mum at her house, as polite as you were, please don’t. She said you was a lovely man but she’s 71 years old and it makes me feel slightly uncomfortable.
The answer is no. I’m not dating Rob Rinder he’s one of my closest friends.
