The TV personality is seen attending a red carpet event in one and sipping a cocktail on the beach in another.

Rhydian adoringly poses with his horse too, while telling potential admirers that he was a fan of Grange Hill, Knightrider and The A-Team as a child.

Opening up about stepping back from the spotlight, Rhydian previously said: "I’ve not been performing much at all, out of choice, since 2019.

"I took the decision to go to the other side of music to promoting and managing acts. I’d achieved a lot of what I wanted to achieve in singing."

He added to : “It’s a different sort of pressure. I prefer it because you’re working with different personalities and it’s different every day.

"With singing I used to get an anxiety that was similar to people who were scared of flying.

"So that stress has been alleviated somewhat. Working with other people has made me realise how precious I was and how I was worrying for no reason.

“The job has made me realise that maybe I was never cut out for it in the first place. The X Factor was just a stepping stone to release music and then do other things. My main job is actually in property and that’s my main source of income.”
