Rylan Clark is said to have known his rumoured new beau for over a decade after first meeting Declan Doyle thanks to The X Factor in 2012.
The Radio 2 DJ, 33, and Declan - ex-boyfriend of Geordie Shore star Nathan Henry - have been snapped snogging and looking cosy together over recent weeks, and it's believed the pair are ready to take their budding relationship to the next level.
It's been reported that the pair are set to meet each other's parents in the very near future, and sources close to the star claim Declan has really 'perked Rylan up' following his painful pending divorce from Dan Neal.
