Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder were flooded with support as they issued a huge update about their hit BBC Two programme. The dynamic duo won over audiences after first teaming up last year for their travel show, Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour. The three-part series followed the pair as they explored Italy’s most exquisite art treasures in cities like Venice, Florence, and Rome, tracing the path of 19th-century poet Lord Byron and other historical Grand Tourists.
In October, it was confirmed the duo would be returning to screens for another series, but this time they will be travelling across India. Their project is clearly going from strength to strength as Rylan, 36, announced that it has been nominated for a BAFTA TV Award in the Factual Entertainment category. Taking to Instagram, the This Morning presenter admitted he “couldn’t believe it” as he shared the news with his followers.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, we’re nominated for a @bafta thank you so much for watching,” he wrote alongside an image of The Grand Tour on the nominees list.
Rob, 46, commented on the post: “‘There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.’ Well done you clever, kind brilliant human.”
The Good Morning Britain host shared the news on his own Instagram with the same image, writing: “So @rylan said we’d either get cancelled or win a BAFTA???????????? Proud of you my friend. Thanks to everyone who watched us and found joy.”
Their posts were inundated with supportive messages from their friends and followers who couldn’t wait to congratulate them on the nomination.
“FANTASTIC! So well deserved….winners already in my eyes,” gushed Loose Women star Ruth Langsford.

Rob’s Good Morning Britain co-star Susanna Reid penned: “So amazing. And totally deserved. Wonderful programme, gorgeous people.”
“Loved it, can’t wait for the next one,” added another fan as a fourth agreed: “Loved this programme well deserved!”
Rob and Rylan’s The Grand Tour is up against Disney+ series In Vogue: The 90s, as well as BBC One shows Race Across The World and Sort Your Life Out.
Netflix phenomenon Baby Reindeer leads the nominations at this year’s BAFTA TV Awards with eight, while Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses each have six. The annual awards ceremony will take place on Sunday 11 May.
