Rylan Clark makes cheeky 'orifice' comment as Rob Rinder sets the record straight

Television personality Rob Rinderhas clarified matters with his co-presenter and friend Rylan Clark following a cheeky remark made during a recent joint interview.

Rob, 47, and Rylan, 36, were being quizzed about their new show, 'Rob and Rylan's Passage To India', when they were asked whether there was one thing they'd always wanted to know about each other.

Speaking to the Radio Times' YouTube channel, Rylan declared: "We ask everything. I know everything about that man, every measurement, every orifice."

Taken aback by the response, Rob swiftly responded: "He means that in a figurative way, he doesn't mean that literally just to be clear. He's never explored there." Rylan then quickly added: "No, not personally. I've seen them though."

Rylan's cheeky observation follows ongoing rumours that the duo are more than friends, but the claims have been dismissed by both whilst they have highlighted their solid friendship, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Earlier this year, Rylanspoke about how their bond had developed since they first worked together on Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour.

He revealed to Bella: "We went into Grand Tour as acquaintances and left as friends. We've gone into A Passage to India as best friends and left as best friends.

"Much as I love him, Rob isn't my boyfriend. I love him too much to marry him." Rylan's remarks come after he decided to make his romance with Kennedy Bates public, as the couple made their debut appearance together at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in Chelmsford.

Discussing the fresh relationship with the Sun, one witness revealed: "Rylan and his new man looked seriously in love, they were having a great time together in the VIP. They were laughing and joking, and there was lots of PDA.

"At one point, Rylan playfully smacked Kennedy on the bum when he headed off while his boyfriend stood in the queue for food. Kennedy was also chatting to Rylan's mum, Linda; he's clearly been accepted by the family."

Rylan had previously confessed to no longer being single on his BBC Radio 2 showwhen he revealed: "I might have said that I'm...it feels weird saying it on the radio!"

In recent months, Rylan has been presenting a podcast called 'How To Be In Love' where he chats to different guests about their connection with romance, with contributors including celebrated documentary maker Louis Theroux.

Episode two of Rob and Rylan's Passage To India is scheduled to broadcast on BBC Two at 9pm tonight (Sunday, September 21).
