Rylan Clark-Neal and his husband Dan are about to become the first gay couple to host This Morning.

The TV presenter and the former Big Brother star will fill in for Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford next month while they’re away on holiday.

A source told The Mirror that the pair convinced ITV bosses to give them a shot after their recent interview with Christopher Cramp.

“Rylan is hugely popular with the This Morning audience and working with Dan again will provide key chemistry a show like this requires with its hosts,” said the insider.

Speaking about working with his other half on the Cramp interview, Clark-Neal recently said:

“It was weird. We felt like Ruth and Eamonn. It was really strange.

“Obviously, me and Dan do a lot of work together away from TV on the development side, so we are used to doing stuff like that.”

He added: “To do stuff on camera together was a little bit strange, but I really enjoyed doing it.”

Clark-Neal, who is already part of the This Morning team, married his other half seven months ago.

The pair started dating back in 2013 when Clark-Neal interviewed Dan on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, which was one of his first presenting roles.
