ROB and Rylan’s Grand Tour viewers are all saying the same thing about the new BBC travel series after its final episode aired.
This Morning star Rylan Clark, 35, and Rob Rinder, 45, teamed up for a three-episode BBC travel series titled ‘Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour’.
The pair, who had the same divorce lawyer, travelled around Italy in a soul-searching adventure, after they both divorced from their husbands.
On the show, Rob opened up about his divorce from husband Seth Cummings after 11 years together.
Rob said: “I was once so in love when I was in my early twenties, but it wasn’t reciprocated. And it never has been.”
Two years later, Rylan separated from Big Brother star Dan Neal after six years married.
Rylan said: “I went down to nine stone and I’m 6ft 4in, Rob… I had a breakdown. I was in a really bad way.”
He also added: “Do you know what, Rob? We’re here once, we’ve been through quite a lot of stuff. What’s it taught us? Nothing’s forever unless it’s right.”
They explored some of Italy’s most loved cities: Venice, Florence, and Rome, with its final episode airing on Sunday.
And viewers have been left with the same question as they demand more episodes.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer wrote: “We’ve thoroughly enjoyed #RobandRylan on @BBCTwo I really hope more Grand Tours are planned!”
Another added: “I am going to need #RobandRylan to be in more shows. I don’t care where they are or what they are doing, but I just need it in my life.”
A third penned: “Beautiful places, culture & art, so much information & beauty to take in but what shone through most of all was their beautiful friendship More Grand tours, please! Amazing #RobandRylan.”
A fourth demanded: “I need more Rob and Rylan on my box #robandrylan.”
As the duo immersed themselves in the art, culture, bad behaviour and life-changing exploits of historic Brits abroad, viewers thought they would make the perfect couple.
And they fuelled romance rumours further after they arrived on the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet together.
BBC Two viewers couldn’t ignore their chemistry as one commented: “Loved this series. The chemistry between Rylan and Rob is very touching and very funny. Need a new series around Greece or Austria.”
Another chimed in: “I just have to say that the new series you have done with Rob Rinder is so beautiful. What a great partnership!”
However, Rylan quashed any suggestion of romance last week in a social media post.
Rylan wrote: “The answer is no. I’m not dating Rob Rinder he’s one of my closest friends.”
Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware, the hosts of the Table Manners podcast, Rylan said: “I find it funny because I adore him, but we are like a married couple; we row all the time and we don’t have sex.”
Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
