Rylan Clark has reportedly signed up to a dating app that's been linked to various celebrities.
The presenter, 35, is said to have joined membership-based dating app Raya, which has been associated with celebrities over the years. It's been suggested that the BBC Radio 2 host won't be "rushing into anything" though.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner, whose real name is Ross, is said to have used his stage name Rylan and listed his job as 'TV presenter' in his profile. It's been reported that his interests are listed as 'television, gym and swimming'.
It's further been claimed that Rylan - who rose to fame on the X Factor back in 2012 - describes himself as 'decent' on the app and that he has put his profile song as All Saints' chart-topper Pure Shores. His profile is said to include various photos, including one of him shirtless on holiday.
Rylan was once in a relationship with Dan Neal, now 44. They tied the knot in 2015 but their separation was announced in 2021. Rylan, who has been open about infidelity on his part in the marriage, has previously spoken about having struggled mentally following the breakdown of his marriage.

A source told the Sun: "Rylan isn't necessarily looking for anything serious right now, but if Mr Right came along, he wouldn't say no. He was heartbroken by the end of his marriage and it took him a long time to rebuild and heal, so he won't be rushing into anything this time around." The source further commented: "He is looking to have fun, and anything else is a bonus that he will take slowly."

He added that he tried to take his own life during the difficult period but said he was "glad" to still be alive.
Rylan shared that he ended up "looking at different things as opportunities". He later commented on the podcast: "I'm having a relationship with myself at the moment that I've never had. And maybe I need to do that for me".
He also hinted at wanting a partner whilst on the podcast. Rylan explained at the time: "I'd like to be with someone. I'd like to share ... I'm quite a sharer. I like giving to people. I like looking after people. And for the past sort of year and a half, I've been not doing that and for the first time Ross has had to be on his own."
Rylan previously shared his thoughts on dating apps. As reported last year, he told Closer: "The dating apps were s***, brutal. I kept getting catfished with people saying 'I need you to prove it's you' and I was like 'I can't be bothered with this'." He added: "I think for now, I'm alright on my own [though]."
