Ranvir Singh made a rare comment about her toyboy lover as she opened up about his relationship with her son.
The ITV presenter, 47, is currently dating Louis Church, who at 29-years-old is almost 18 years her junior.
Ranvir has been dating Louis since 2020 after they met while she was competing on Strictly Come Dancing, for which he is a producer.
And speaking to the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine, Ranvir shed light on Louis’ relationship with her 13-year-old son Tushaan, as she deemed the producer a ‘positive force’ in his life.
On how she approached introducing the pair, Ranvir said: ‘I think when you have a child the bar is so much higher.
‘You can take risks with your own life, but when you have a son you have to be sure this is someone who’ll be a positive force in his life. And Louis is.’

She added: ‘He does all the football games with Tushaan. He does the fishing, all the things I couldn’t do.
‘I think it’s a huge worry, the question of who your child’s male role models are.’
Ranvir opened up about the ‘anxieties’ she faced when she first embarked on her relationship with Louis last month.
The pair have been together since September 2020 after they met when Louis worked behind-the-scenes during her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
The couple now live together with her son Tushaan – whom she shares with ex-husband Ranjeet Singh Dehal – and her mother.
And in a new interview, the broadcaster admitted it was a ‘brave decision’ to welcome a new man into her life as a single mother as it wasn’t only her feelings that she had to contend with.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she detailed the ‘caution’ she approached her romance with, explaining: ‘I think anybody who’s been in the position I’ve been in plays it very cautiously, it really isn’t just about you and your feelings.
‘We can throw caution to the wind for ourselves, but when we have children, our foot is always hovering over the brake pad because you think, “Hang on a minute, this isn’t just about me”.

‘It’s not just about the relationship itself, but even thinking, “Have I got the time to introduce somebody?” I don’t want to dilute my time with my son.’
‘All those anxieties are really universal, caution is the byword for anybody in my position, I think you take a lot longer to choose to integrate,’ she added.
But the Lorraine presenter highlighted the rewards of taking the leap as she admitted that falling in love is ‘a very brave decision’, noting that ‘to do it well’ is a ‘lifelong journey’.
Ranvir also reflected on becoming a single mother during her pregnancy following her split from her husband.
In December last year, Ranvir revealed she had secretly split from Ranjeet when she was seven months pregnant.

Before then, it had been widely believed that the presenter only split from her spouse in 2020 before her stint on Strictly.
Looking back on that tough period in her life, Ranvir noted that she has the ‘sort of life’ she ‘thought’ she might have, but accepted that ‘not everything has gone to plan’.
Despite this, Ranvir said she wouldn’t trade her situation for anything as she acknowledges that her deep bond with Tushaan stems from being a single mother.
She added that without a partner involved for years, there was ‘no hiding place’ with her and her son, meaning that there’s a ‘raw, open honesty’ with their relationship.
