Thomas Skinner is on a mission to set pal Rylan up - and he's holding auditions to find his mate a new man.

Single Rylan is seemingly looking for love two years after he and husband split following the end of their six year marriage.

Apprentice star Thomas is determined to help so has opened up his DMs on twitter and told any guys who are keen to tell him why they should date his friend.

He'll then vet the applicants - and cook one of his trademark roast dinners for his date.

It's not the first time the market trader has meddled in Rylan's love life after the unimpressed presenter demanded he delete a photo on his 'secret new boyfriend' after posting it online.

Thomas uploaded a photo of them and a mystery blonde said to be his sister and his plea read: "I need 2 help my friend @Rylan find a man. All applicants Please send me a DM.

"Serious ones only and you will be vetted by me. He’s a good bloke and we don’t need no helmets on the firm.

"If the candidate is successful, you will be invited round mine for roast dinner. Bosh Dates."

One cheeky follower replied: "Let me know when you taking DM requests for your sister mate."

The Strictly It Takes Two host hit rock bottom when he split from Dan after admitting he had cheated on him in the past.

The TV favourite, 34, said he had been unfaithful to Dan 'years ago' but only decided to tell his partner in May 2021, which caused their relationship to break down.

The situation was so difficult for Rylan that he said he no longer wanted to be alive - and subsequently tried to end his life.

In his book Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future, Rylan detailed the effects that his crumbling marriage had on him after the star came clean about his cheating years after it took place.

Rylan said he went into 'self blame' mode and felt his life was over and spent time hiding at his mum's house after their things fell apart following the cheating confession.

"And for the first time in thirty two years I felt I couldn't carry on no more. What's the point I thought. I'd lost what I thought was everything, the one thing I always wanted. A man I loved. A family of my own. And now it was gone. And so I tried to end it," Rylan said.

In June 2021, one month after the marriage broke down, Rylan released a statement on social media where he blamed himself.

"Following reports about Dan and I spending time apart, I feel I have to speak out - as the way it is being reported is unfair," Rylan penned at the time.

“I have made a number of mistakes which I deeply regret and have inevitably led to the breakdown of our marriage."

He continued to say that he was trying to 'seek help' as he was struggling with some personal issues and is 'not in a good place at the moment'.

Rylan added: “I am trying to take each day at a time and would like to thank you to everyone for their support and for respecting our privacy at this time.”
