Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder appeared together on the red carpet at the 2024 TV BAFTAs on Sunday, following recent dating speculation among fans. The presenters, both elegantly dressed, arrived at the Royal Festival Hall in London, where they later presented the Soap Award on stage.
The duo's appearance came after Rinder shared a post on X quoting poet Lord Byron, writing: 'Friendship may and often does, grow into love.' The post was in reference to their new BBC Two travel show, Rob & Rylan's Grand Tour, which follows the path of Lord Byron on the 200th anniversary of his death.
Representatives for both stars have confirmed there is no romantic relationship between them, explaining that Rinder's post was simply promoting their new series. The show, described as a 'heartbreak holiday', follows their journeys after painful divorces: Clark split from Dan Neal in 2021, and Rinder divorced Seth Cumming in 2018.
Speaking about the series, Clark said: 'You see the evolution of our friendship. We were just mates before but now we're friends. We've both been through pain recently so we're getting away from it.' Rinder added: 'I don't often compare myself to Byron, but I too am a divorcee. And so is Rylan. And we're both looking for a new start too.'
