Rylan Clark has sent his fans wild with some much-wanted TV news. It comes after he declared his 'love' for Robert Rinder but it only left fans issuing the same sort of response. The pair have just wrapped up filming their upcoming show on the BBC that sees them travel around Italy.
Rylan, 34, and Rob, 45, have joined forces for a new three-part travel series, with a working title of Rob And Rylan’s Grand Tour, that's set to air on BBC2. The show will see them follow in the footsteps of the romantic poet Lord Byron and English aristocrats who took on the Grand Tour.
The Grand Tour is a classic trip through Europe popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and the new show will see Rylan and Rob visit artistic treasures in Venice, Florence and Rome. The pair started filming their travels last month in Venice and have this week been seen taking in the sites of Rome.

On Sunday, Rylan confirmed that it was soon time for him and Rob to head back to the UK as they completed their filming gig together. Posting a selfie of the pair which appeared to show them riding around in an open carriage, Rylan wrote on Twitter: "I’m off to enjoy my final day in Italy, finishing the show we’ve been making.
"Spending it with the wonderful @RobbieRinder has been such a joy. Thanks Rob and to our incredible team. X." Rob also reshared the post, writing to his own followers: "'No great mind has ever existed without a touch of Essex' - Aristotle/ Rinder." He then added: "You’re one of the great ones my friend.."
And Rylan has since shared the post to his Instagram page with a different message. He wrote to his 1.7 million followers: "Now off home after such a wonderful experience with @robrinder. Thanks for being the best travel buddy and can’t wait for everyone to see the show."
He then rounded off his post by writing: "Love ya mate," which soon had fans responding with a plea for the pair after Rob previously joked they had got engaged after Elton John's Glastonbury performance 'inspired' them while also sharing their delight at their TV show.
@xx73glasgo begged: "Please fall in love with each other." @miss_p_uk commented: "Would make a cute couple." @themothership16222 said: "So looking forward to seeing the show. Love both of you." @themothership16222 echoed: "So looking forward to seeing the show. Love both of you."
@loulamurphy replied: "Absolute faves - looking gorgeous the pair of you - love you both loads." @jowilson69 posted: "Two of my favs….all there in one show!! I cannot wait." @tinagagarry added: "Can’t wait for this. If the twitter pics are anything to go by then it’ll be hilarious! More joint projects please!"
Meanwhile, Rylan has subtly confirmed he will be back on Celebrity Gogglebox this week. The BBC Radio 2 star has previously appeared on the show alongside his beloved mum, Linda. Fans were gutted when the initial line-up for the show last month didn't include the duo but that all looks set to change on Friday (July 14).
Taking to Instagram and Twitter, Rylan posted a picture of the TV in his front room with other cameras dotted around in front. "Friday. Channel 4. 9pm," he simply wrote alongside both posts as fans rushed to respond.
@lynnetteharris85 replied: "Hooray you're back." @guest_rosie cheered: "Yaaaaaaay." @mrsfaliveno said: "Thank christ for that........you both took yer time........" @luke_durose commented: "Can’t wait to see what you and Linda say." @raineyb_66 added: "So glad you're both back, i was getting a bit worried we weren't going to see you."
