According to reports in The Sun, Rylan will return to the BBC2 show after co-presenting it alongside Zoe Ball for the past two years.
With 50-year-old Zoe quitting It Takes Two back in May, Rylan will allegedly sit alongside Strictly professional Janette Manrara, 37, for the extra ballroom dancing instalment which is starting next month.

A source told Closer: ‘Katie Price in particular has been his rock over the last few weeks, and given she’s been through three marriage splits herself, she understands the torment he’s going through.
‘Nicole has also been messaging him and has given him a list of books that have helped her through painful break-ups.’
The source further revealed to the publication that Rylan was in a ‘very dark place’ but found it ‘hugely comforting’ to have his friends supporting him.
