Rob Rinder shares brutal Rylan admission after 'feeling sense of disappointment'
Rob Rinder has revealed that people often feel a "sense of disappointment" when they meet him in public without Rylan Clark by his side.
The 47-year-old has formed a tight-knit friendship with fellow telly presenter Rylan over the past few years. Their three-part series Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour was broadcast in May 2024.
The BAFTA TV Award-winning show saw an emotional Rylan discussing his divorce from ex-husband Dan Neal. The BBC Radio 2 star has since described his journey around Italy with Rob as being "like therapy", confessing he "wasn't fully over" the break up.
There have been whispers about a potential romance between the two, but Rylan recently clarified that they are "just friends". This came as he paid a heartfelt tribute to Judge Rinder star Rob on his birthday, expressing that he "loves him dearly".
Now, during a fresh chat between the duo on Radio 2, Rob disclosed that fans are often let down when he attends events without former X Factor star Rylan. He shared this insight while calling into Rylan's Saturday afternoon programme.
Rob said: "I keep walking up to people and they know, obviously, that we're friends, but you can feel the slight sense of disappointment that they're like, 'Oh where's Rylan?' As if I'm the warm-up act. I'm like the rubbish warm-up act that no one shows up for."
Rylan, aged 36, responded: "But Rob, that's what I get. Everyone goes, 'Oh, where's Rob? Where's Rob?'".
Before their Italian tour together, both Rob and Rylan experienced painful separations. The programme saw them opening up about their experiences as they bonded over a drink.
After scooping a BAFTA, Rylan opened up about his personal life, saying: "For me, the show, it happened at a really weird time for me like I still wasn't fully over sort of the breakdown of my marriage and was flung with the judge. It was the best therapy I needed, put it that way."
Rylan continued: "I think the journey, and I hate that word in telly but it's so true, when you watch our series, that journey from when we meet to sort of how raw, especially I was at that time."
Meanwhile, Rob, who celebrated his wedding to former spouse Seth Cummings in 2013 with none other than Benedict Cumberbatch leading the ceremony, later parted ways with his partner in 2018, with sources describing the split as "very sad".
Launching into TV fame with Judge Rinder in 2014, Rob has since danced his way onto shows like Strictly Come Dancing, enjoyed a spot on Celebrity Gogglebox, and popped up on Good Morning Britain.
Keeping his legal wits sharp, he also serves as a junior counsel at London's prestigious 2 Hare Court. Meanwhile, Rylan first came into the limelight during 2012's X Factor run.
Post-X Factor fame saw him enter the Celebrity Big Brother house in January 2013, shortly after his singing contest stint, and he's since become a familiar face on programmes such as This Morning.

Nile Rodgers to guest curate David Bowie exhibition
London's V&A Museum, which is behind the new David Bowie Centre, said Rodgers has also selected a bespoke Peter Hall suit worn by Bowie during the Serious Moonlight tour for the Let's Dance album. Photographs of Bowie, Rodgers and guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan recording Let's Dance in New York will also feature. The David Bowie Centre will open within the museum's new East Storehouse in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in Stratford, east London, on September 13. Costumes worn during Bowie's Ziggy Stardust period, and those worn by other musicians including Sir Elton John and PJ Harvey, will also be on display. Rodgers said: 'My creative life with David Bowie provided the greatest success of his incredible career, but our friendship was just as rewarding. 'Our bond was built on a love of the music that had both made and saved our lives.' Rodgers produced Bowie's single Let's Dance and the 1983 album of the same name, as well as his 1993 album Black Tie White Noise, with the personal correspondence in the exhibition relating to the latter. Brit Award-winning indie rock band The Last Dinner Party have also curated part of the exhibition, describing Bowie as a 'constant source of inspiration to us'. Their items include Bowie's elaborate handwritten lyrics for his song Win, and notes and set lists for his 1976 Isolar tour. The band said: 'David Bowie continues to inspire generations of artists like us to stand up for ourselves. 'It was such a thrill to explore Bowie's archive, and see first hand the process that went into his world-building and how he created a sense of community and belonging for those that felt like outcasts or alienated – something that's really important to us in our work too.' Access to the David Bowie Centre will be free, with tickets released nearer its opening. The David Bowie archive, which boasts more than 90,000 items, was acquired by the V&A with the help of the David Bowie Estate, the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Warner Music Group. The centre will be spread across three zones, which will include curated displays, audio visual installations and quieter study areas, allowing visitors to view the Bowie archive on their own, from musical instruments to stage models. Small displays will tell the stories behind the singer's albums and also look at his multi-dimensional creative approach, including unrealised projects, collaborations and influences. The East Storehouse opened at the end of May, and features the Order An Object initiative, allowing visitors to pre-book to see an item from its entire collection. The V&A will also open the V&A East Museum in spring 2026, in an area named East Bank. Its main museum is in South Kensington, west London, and it also runs the Young V&A in Bethnal Green, east London.

Liam insulted me but I'll sing every word at Oasis tonight… they blew me away when I was 21 & still do, says Vernon Kay
Vernon reveals what's lacking in music today and why the Nineties were so good MAD FER IT! Liam insulted me but I'll sing every word at Oasis tonight… they blew me away when I was 21 & still do, says Vernon Kay Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Oasis strike the opening chords of their reunion tour tonight, it will be an incredibly emotional moment for me. Alongside my 16-year-old daughter Amber, younger brother Stephen and tens of thousands of mad-for-it fans, I'll be singing along to every word at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 10 Oasis fan Vernon Kay at a gig in the 90s Credit: Supplied 10 Vernon and Noel at Radio 2 in 2023, sharing memories of the Manchester club scene Credit: Instagram/vernonkay 10 Vernon with wife Tess and daughters Phoebe and Amber Credit: Instagram I'm buzzing and really can't wait. It will be the band's first show since the year of Amber's birth. Now a whole new generation of fans will witness first-hand what we've been raving about for so long. The best thing is Amber has found Oasis without me, saying: 'You need to listen to this brilliant band.' I'll be such a proud dad as we sing all the lyrics together. I've been sending her different bootlegs of their live performances and we've already had a practice run, belting out their anthems. I might have to make a few excuses for Liam's language, though — I know from personal experience that he has a fruity turn of phrase. Back in 2009, I was at a Prodigy gig when I bumped into Liam and his then-wife Nicole Appleton. They'd been on holiday and I'd had a couple of lagers and cheekily yelled at him: 'Is that fake tan you're wearing?' For a minute, I thought he was going to hit me. He shouted: 'No, I'm f***ing not you lanky streak of p***.' I think he then called me lanky bollocks. But he's brilliant company. Liam Gallagher reveals new details about Oasis tour – before quickly deleting post People ask: 'Who would be your top ten dinner party guests?' Well, Liam would certainly be one of mine. And I think you would want him to be the one who arrives last, with a 24-pack of Guinness, slamming them down on the table. Everyone would go: 'Alright then, let's have one of them.' For me — and countless others — today's show will be a return to the golden days of our youth. When Supersonic, the first single, hit the charts in April 1994, it had the simplicity of dance music with the excitement of raucous guitars. I was 21 and me and my friends were blown away. They were just so relatable. The band dressed like us and had similar attitudes. Growing up in Bolton, my musical journey began with the train to Manchester every Saturday with my mates. We'd visit Piccadilly Records and try to blend in with the trendy kids with baggy jeans. Then I got into dance music. There were loads of clubs in Manchester including the Hacienda — the best club I've ever been to. Just blown away We started to notice bill posters all over for this group called Oasis. We didn't immediately jump on the band-wagon, but when Oasis exploded in 1994, we totally got it. Noel used to go to the Hacienda and Oasis rehearsed at the Boardwalk, another club we went to — it was all so familiar. And then as they grew and grew and grew and grew, we felt like it was OUR band. It felt like a great movement — a wonderful moment in time. I think that dance music and the early days of Britpop ran hand in hand. A couple of years earlier, it was all grunge. I went to the 1992 Reading Festival with Nirvana headlining. It was quite heavy and the look was army boots and baggy jumpers. Then all of a sudden there seemed to be this ray of sunshine from behind the grunge hills and everyone was wearing Oasis tracksuit tops and Clarks Wallabee shoes. I had the Liam haircut, but never went for his swaggering walk. I'm sure there'll be plenty attempting it on the way to the stadium tonight. Back in the early 1990s, I was living for the weekend and going out — we were all over the different scenes. In the Nineties, whether you were into dance music, rock and roll — whatever you want to call it — all the genres came together Vernon Kay Radio One championed Oasis at the time, especially Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq, so they were played a lot. In August 1994, their debut album Definitely Maybe was released and went straight to number one. As soon as it came out, I was like, 'Right, I'm having a bit of this'. It's just a brilliant album. Noel has said that the lyrics and stories on it are all about living on the breadline, but being with your mates and having a great time. Just sitting in a park on star-filled nights and staring up at the sky. It sounds quite romantic. Liam and Noel grew up on a council estate. I didn't, but being from a working-class family I really felt the energy they transmitted. You could tell Manchester changed immediately when Oasis broke through. They made young people feel free. Next week, they head back to Manchester where it all began. I'll be presenting my radio show live from the city as a celebration of the band, with fans sharing Oasis memories. Adds such a spark Britpop was a social phenomenon. The bands — Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Supergrass, Shed 7 — had loads of character with a bit of political anger thrown into the mix. It was just fab. Perhaps that's what's lacking in music today. Britpop was fun. And I think, in the Nineties, whether you were into dance music, rock and roll — whatever you want to call it — all the genres came together. And that's why it was so good. In 2023, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds appeared, accompanied by the strings section of the BBC Concert Orchestra, for my Radio Two show. Beforehand, we talked for around an hour about the Hacienda days and dance music. Noel is very concise in how he speaks — very similar to his lyrics. He gets straight to the point. I understand how Noel and Liam fell out. Me and Stephen call each other all sorts, but the last person who speaks will do it with a snigger. You can say things to your brother that you can't say to anyone else. It'll be interesting to see what the Gallaghers' relationship is like on stage. That's the melodrama that adds such a spark to the band. Forget the ticket sale debacle — this tour is going to be phenomenal. There's just going to be so much positivity, all the way through from the opening chords to the encore. And I'll be moist-eyed, singing along to every track as my youngest daughter's generation gets to see the band that changed everything. GALLAGHER KIDS WELL PLAID! FOUR of Liam and Noel's kids got together for a family photoshoot ahead of Oasis's record-breaking reunion tour. The new-gen Gallaghers – Liam's children Molly, 27, Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, along with Noel's daughter Anais, 25 – were decked out in Burberry as they posed in style for W Magazine. 10 New-gen Gallaghers from left to right: Molly, Lennon, Anais and Gene Credit: @sk8rmom420/W Magazine 10 Anais in a Burberry design Credit: @sk8rmom420/W Magazine The Britpop nepo-babies opened up about their lives as part of the formerly feuding brothers' brood. The alleged architect of Oasis's reunion, Noel's photographer daughter Anais, tells the publication: 'My plan is to be at every UK date, and my camera will be with me every step of the way.' Liam's sons Lennon and Gene have followed in the musical footsteps of their rock star dad, with the brothers both part of rock bands on top of their fashion duties. But their fellow model sister Molly revealed she shunned the idea of a music career. 'I honestly couldn't think of anything worse than being on stage in front of an audience', she told the magazine. 10 Lennon looks laid back in casual clobber Credit: @sk8rmom420/W Magazine 10 Gene looking dapper in a shirt and tie Credit: @sk8rmom420/W Magazine 10 Molly in a crimson leather coat Credit: @sk8rmom420/W Magazine TAMBO SALES SOAR BY 155% TAMBOURINES, bucket hats and anoraks are flying off the shelves as fans clamour to mimic their idols.

Elsewhere, diehard followers of Oasis have been snapping up parkas and anoraks in the lead-up to their epic reunion. In another Nineties throwback, bucket hats are also back in a big way, with purchases jumping by 89 per cent in the past three months.

HUNDREDS of drones formed Oasis's logo in lights above Cardiff's Principality Stadium to mark the reunion.

Fan James Fenton, 44, who spotted the display, hailed it 'amazing'.
