Judge Rinder star Rob Rinder has declared his love for Rylan Clark during an appearance on Loose Women as the pair continue to be asked about their friendship.

TV personality Rob Rinder has clarified his ‘love’ for fellow star Rylan Clark as fans continue to adore their on-screen partnership.

In November, the duo returned from their latest joint adventure, a trip to India in October to film their upcoming BBC Two show. This follows their initial collaboration earlier this year on Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, which led to fans demanding more.

The first three-part series took viewers on a journey through some of Italy’s most significant art treasures in locations such as Venice, Florence, and Rome, following in the footsteps of 19th-century romantic poet Lord Byron and other Grand Tourists.

However, during their first series, Rob decided to play a prank on his co-star by announcing on Twitter that they were engaged. TV star turned criminal barrister Rob posted a beautiful photo of the two standing in what seemed to be the Italian countryside.

The image showed Rylan and Rob facing each other under the bright sun, both dressed in crisp white shirts and trousers. “Elton’s set at Glastonbury has inspired us to tie the knot. I [heart] @Rylan,” Rob wrote alongside the photo on Twitter.

The Manchester Evening News reports this resulted in fans rushing to congratulate them, with some believing the wedding news was real.

Fans hoping for a romantic update were left deflated when Rylan, 34, took to social media to debunk the rumours, stating: “Fake news he’s had a wine.”

The TV personality later recounted an amusing incident where he had to explain to an enthusiastic stranger that he and Rob weren’t getting hitched, despite being congratulated on the street. Despite this, the duo’s chemistry continues to win hearts, with fans expressing their admiration for their partnership.

During interviews, both Rylan and Rob often face questions about each other. On Wednesday (February 12), while on Loose Women, Rob couldn’t resist expressing his fondness for Rylan to host Christine Lampard and the panel.

He said: “We’ve been in India together, just to be clear, I’m in platonic love with him, I love you Rylan!”

He also praised the BBC Radio 2 presenter, adding: “It’s all about authenticity, he’s one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met!”
