'What a limitless gift it is to have had her in my life': Rob Rinder shares his heartbreak as his grandmother passes away at 96 and pens touching tribute


Rob Rinder shared his heartbreak on Sunday as his grandmother passed away at the age of 96.

Yet as they promoted the show to Saturday's Weekend magazine, they jokingly referred to their relationship as 'the perfect platonic marriage' and gave tantalising glimpses into the way their friendship had developed while they were filming the three-part TV series that initially brought them together. At Sunday night's TV Baftas, Rob admitted he has developed a deep bond with Rylan, describing him as the 'real deal' but insisted they are not in a romantic relationship And they certainly got that on the new show, retracing the steps of the 18th- and 19th-century English aristocrats who left the confines of British society behind to seek freedom and adventure on the classic upper-class gap year – a Grand Tour of the Continent's cultural capitals.
