Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark’s own Grand Tour travel show last year enthralled fans.
They received a ton of applause when Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder announced a significant revamp on their well-liked BBC Two program. Audiences were charmed over by the dynamic duo after they initially worked together on their travel show, Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, last year. The three-part series follows the two as they traveled to Venice, Florence, and Rome to see some of Italy’s most exquisite art treasures, following the voyage of 19th-century poet Lord Byron and other historical Grand Tourists.
In October, it was revealed that the two will return to television for a second series, but they would be traveling throughout India. As evidence of how powerful their effort is growing, Rylan, 36, disclosed that it has been nominated for a BAFTA TV Award in the Factual Entertainment category. The This Morning anchor said he “couldn’t believe it” when he broke the news to his Instagram followers.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, we’re nominated for a @bafta thank you so much for watching,” he wrote as he shared a photo of The Grand Tour on the list of candidates.
Rob, 46, commented on the page, saying, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.” Bravo, you’re a brilliant, kind, and amazing person.
The host of Good Morning Britain shared the news along with the same image on his personal Instagram, writing, “So @rylan said we’d either get cancelled or win a BAFTA????????????.” My friend, you have my admiration. We appreciate everyone who came to see us.
In an attempt to congratulate them on the nomination, their friends and followers showered their posts with supportive remarks.
“WOW!” said Loose Women star Ruth Langsford, “so well deserved….winners already in my eyes.”
Rob’s co-star on Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid, wrote: “Very wonderful. and merited. Wonderful program, lovely people.
“Loved this program, well deserved!” agreed a fourth enthusiast. “Can’t wait for the next one!” said another devotee.
Disney+ shows will compete with Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour. BBC One broadcasts Vogue: The Nineties, Race Across the World, and Sort Your Life Out.
The Netflix sensation Baby Reindeer has eight nominations at this year’s BAFTA TV Awards, compared to six for Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office, Rivals, and Slow Horses. The annual awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, May 11.
