Despite being firm favourites on Celebrity Gogglebox, it seems Rylan Clark-Neal and his mum's future on the show looks a bit uncertain.

The pair's dynamic has won them a legion of fans over two series, though they may not be able to continue for a third due to Linda's Crohn's disease.

"It'll be a year away now, we were really lucky to be part of the first one and the second one," Rylan told The Mirror. "It'll all just depend on what we're doing and if my mum's well enough.

"We're never gonna say never. We don't know what position we're going to be in eventually."

Speaking of Linda's newfound fame, the presenter continued: "She's not dealing with her fame, she doesn't really know. She's not on social media and I'm never gonna let her be.

"The odd person might stop her and say 'Hello Linda' and she'll go 'Hello, you alright?' She'll carry on walking and go 'Who the f**k was that? How do I know them?'"

Rylan's latest comments come after he admitted earlier this year that they've had to turn down TV offers due to Linda's health.

"We've been offered hundreds of things," he said. "We got asked to do a travel show and the chance to go here and go there. It would be hilarious, but she's just not well enough to do it.

"Gogglebox is enough for us. She feels comfortable doing that show ­because we're just sat in my kitchen.

"It's the only thing we can do ­together. We might do it again. If it comes around again, we'd definitely think about it."
