Rylan Clark and Judge Rinder star Rob Rinder are to embark on a new BBC travelogue show that will see them follow the path of poet Lord Byron.
In the show - called Rob And Rylan's Grand Tour - the pair will take on a trek around Italy originally undertaken by 19th Century poet Byron and famously completed by countless aristocrats since.
"When I found out that Rob and I get to go travelling around Italy for the Grand Tour, I couldn't have packed my suitcase quicker," said Clark.
"Rob will be teaching me all about Italian history and art as we follow in the footsteps of the cultural greats, while I show Rob how to dance on bars.
"This series is going to be eye-opening and I bet we'll have a laugh or two along the way."
Rinder added: "We'll be following in the footsteps of some of history's biggest cultural contributors.
"While Rylan and I have different intentions for our trip, I can't think of anyone I'd rather do this journey with."
The show is expected to air on BBC Two later this year.
