Rylan Clark-Neal is a "cool dad".
The ‘This Morning’ presenter has always found it "really easy" to get along with his 17-year-old stepson Cameron – his husband Dan Clark-Neal’s child from a previous relationship – and the teenager knows he can always turn to him for help or advice on awkward situations.
He told Closer magazine: "Cameron was about 13 when I first met him, so I’ve gone through the terrible teens with him, but it’s always just been really easy.
"It was a shock going from being single to a stepdad but at the same time it just felt right.
"He comes to stay with us all the time. We’re both into boxing so we’ll sit and watch that together.
"I’m the cool dad he can talk to about things he doesn’t want to chat to Dan about – although I’m still always telling him he’s not allowed to get a tattoo."
While Rylan enjoys being a stepfather and thinks it would be "amazing" to have a child of his own, he insists he and Dan are not currently looking to have a baby together.
He said: "I’m not going to rush into having kids myself – I don’t feel like I need to have a baby right now – but if we did have a baby together, that would be amazing."
Meanwhile, the ‘Big Brother’s Bit On the Side’ host has admitted he "hates" his body – but not enough to make any real attempt to get into shape.
He said: "I should do something about it, but I’ve always hated my body and probably always will.
"I’ve got a gym at home but I’ve only been in there once to get a Lucozade.
"I’m not confident at all, that’s why I wear a t-shirt at the beach.
"It’s hard when you’re on TV and everyone has an opinion on your appearance but it hasn’t bothered me to the point where I’ve had time to do anything about it."
