The two have formed a close bond and in January both enjoyed a night out together. The presenter was videoed by Rylan dancing to Montell Jordan’s, ‘This Is How We Do It’. Ruth shared footage on her own socials capturing Rylan dancing to Shakira’s iconic number, ‘Hips Don’t Lie.
Rylan and Ruth have presented This Morning together on numerous occasions and she has referred to him as her ‘TV son’ previously. She reposted the picture uploaded by Rylan of the two to her own Instagram stories, captioning it “better late than never” alongside laughing face emojis.

Continuing his string of supportive messages to celebrity friends, Rylan shared that he had received a text from This Morning’s Alison Hammond who wanted to know where fit fitted into the ‘TV mum’ and TV wife’ category. A screenshot uploaded by Rylan stated: “Just got a text off @AlisonHammond55, annoyed I’ve got a TV mum and wife.

After the announcement of his casting, Rylan said in a statement: “As a massive Whovian, getting the call to be in Doctor Who was a call I’ve always dreamed of getting.
“This episode is all my favourite things about the show with an added song contest set in space. It really is a dream come true. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. It is going to be out of this world.”
