Robert Rinder professed his 'love' for close friend Rylan Clark as he let slip why the TV star makes him smile. The former telly judge said he 'loves' his close friend Rylan, saying there are two types of friends. He told the Great Company with Jamie Laing podcast: "Real friendship is not the people who'll be there in the middle of the night, I mean the emergency services will do that for you.
"And then the friends like like Rylan who are there when things go really well, who can you telephone that's going to sit alongside you and celebrate with unfettered joy. That's who your mates are, right?" Meanwhile, on the same podcast last month Rylan shared his adoration for Robert, saying that he was a 'true friend'.

It's the type of talent that is the difference between becoming an artist and being one." He continued: "He has this gift, that great musicians can play from when they're little.
