Who is Rylan Clark’s partner?

While Rylan didn’t confirm who his new man is, he admitted the podcast has been helping his new relationship. “I’ve picked up quite a few tips. It’s maybe where I’ve gone wrong in the past,” he said.

Over the past few months, there has been speculation that Rylan is in a relationship with his television co-star Rob Rinder.

However, in an interview with The Times, Rylan shut down the rumours, insisting they are friends.

“Contrary to popular belief, Rob Rinder isn’t the first person I speak to but he is a very good friend of mine,” he said.

“Everyone thinks we’re together and we are quite like a married couple: we spend lots of time in each other’s company and never have sex.”
