Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder make exciting announcement live on The One Show

Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder made an exciting announcement live on The One Show on Friday (September 19).

During the today's episode of the popular BBC show, the pair joined presenters Alex Jones and Clara Amfo on the iconic green sofa, alongside Take That.

Rylan and Rob were there to discuss the second series of their travel programme, titled Rob and Rylan's Passage to India.

This new chapter follows their first journey across Italy for their Grand Tour series last year, which notably won them a BAFTA.

During the live broadcast, Rob and Rylan revealed the destination for their third series, reports Wales Online.

"Both these series have seemed to transform the pair of you, and in turn then, we've had so much out of watching them and people absolutely love these programmes," Alex commented.

"And good news, because there's a third series. We know where you're off, but you're gonna share it with our viewers, aren't you?"

"We are off to Greece!" Rylan enthusiastically announced, before asking his co-star: "What are we following, I forget? The Odyssey?"

Rob then confirmed that they'd be drawing inspiration from "Odysseus a little bit," adding: "But all about philosophy and democracy, and fun and beautiful conversation."

Reflecting on the show's enduring impact, Rylan added: "It really has changed our lives. I've literally just landed from a flight from Florence.

"I've just come back with my partner, and I went out there and called Elizabeth, who showed us the Artemisia Gentileschi painting, and I went to see it yesterday... I'm actually high-brow now, not just eyebrow!"

Rob concluded: "I'm so proud. But also, [Rylan's] taught me, as well, to go and delight in the world and have fun and let go a bit. That's the kind of, if you like, benignly beautiful platonic marriage that we have.

"It's one thing to look at the art with your head, but you've got to do it with your heart too, and that's the special brand of magic that he brings us."

Rob and Rylan's newest series, Passage to India, sees the duo retrace the steps of cherished writer, EM Forster.

The four episodes feature the pair journeying through famous cities including Delhi and Varanasi, alongside smaller settlements such as Khajuraho.

The One Show airs weeknights on BBC One at 7pm, while Rob and Rylan's Passage to India is available to stream on BBC iPlayer
