But sadly Rylan has admitted that their future on the show now looks slightly uncertain because of Linda's Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease is a life-long condition where parts of the digestive system become inflamed.
The TV star told The Mirror: "It'll be a year away now, we were really lucky to be part of the first one and the second one.
"It'll all just depend on what we're doing and if my mum's well enough.
"We're never going to say never. We don't know what position we are going to be in eventually."
And it seems while Rylan is an expert at living there celebrity lifestyle, having become a household name thanks to his television and radio work, his mum isn't so sure about being famous.
"She's not dealing with her fame," he admitted. "She doesn't really know. She's not on social media and I'm never going to let her be.
"The odd person might stop her and say 'Hello Linda' and she go 'Hello, you alright?' But then she'll carry on walking and go 'Who was that? How do I know them?!'"
