Rylan Clark has expressed his discomfort over a journalist who approached his mother to ask about his romantic relationships.
The presenter, who's currently appearing in the travel series Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour with Rob Rinder, took to Twitter/X to share his frustrations at his mum Linda being quizzed about his love life.
"To the journalist that just doorstepped my mum at her house, as polite as you were, please don't," Rylan began.
"She said you was a lovely man but she's 71 years old and it makes me feel slightly uncomfortable," he continued.

The TV host then went on to address the rumours himself, denying he's dating Rinder.
"The answer is no. I'm not dating Rob Rinder, he's one of my closest friends," Rylan wrote. "Next time tweet me."

Rinder reposted Rylan's tweet, adding: "FACT."
"You are the best," celebrity chef Nigella Lawson commented.
Earlier this week, Rylan thanked fans for tuning in for his new travel show, saying that he and Rinder "never expected this reaction" to their programme.

Speaking about travelling around Italy with Rinder, Rylan previously said he jumped at the opportunity when offered the gig.
"When I found out that Rob and I actually get to go travelling around Italy for the Grand Tour, I couldn't have packed my suitcase quicker," he said.
"We're not going to be your typical Brits abroad though, as we properly immerse ourselves in all of Italy's cultural offerings," he teased ahead of the show's debut.
"Rob will be teaching me all about Italian history and art as we follow in the footsteps of the cultural greats, while I show Rob how to dance on bars."
Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour streams on BBC iPlayer and airs on BBC Two on Sundays at 9pm.
