Rob disclosed that he'd been to India several times; however, thiswas Rylan's maiden visit, and he had never travelled to Asia before, except for the Maldives.

Viewers swiftly took to social media to comment on Rylan, who grumbled repeatedly about the traffic.

One individual remarked: "So @Rylan and @JudgeRinderT on @BBC #PassageToIndia. Why on earth did Rylan sign up for this, all he is doing in the 5 minutes that I could sit through it was moan about the roads the traffic, the flying insects, the rickshaw. Goodness me!" reports the Express.

Another commented: "Rylan is typical of many Brits who have only ever been on a package holiday in the med."

Despite the mixed reactions, fans did enjoy the show and found it entertaining, with one person stating: "Enjoying Rob & Rylan Passage to India."

Another said: "Just watched the first episode of #RobRinder & #RylanClark #PassagetoIndia It's literally out of this world. Beyond words....TY."

And: "@Rylan I'm tuning in to watch you guys as you take me around India. I've missed you both."

Also: "Rob & Rylan's passage to India, fabulous TV and, making me really really want to go back to India, such a fabulous place and even in the first episode they're really showing how it talks to you, how its so different and how relaxing it is despite being so so busy and crowded."

During the programme, they kicked off their adventure in Delhi, India's capital, which houses 34 million residents - nearly four times London's population.

The duo then explored the frenzied street bazaar of Chandni Chowk, where EM Forster started his own expedition, before visiting the 16th-century architectural marvel Humayun's Tomb and the Lodhi Colony, famous for its buildings adorned with enormous murals.

The beloved pair also encountered billionaire art enthusiast Shalini Passi, alongside campaigner and musician Naveen Koomar, who challenged Rob and Rylan to deliver their own original rap performance.

Rob and Rylan's Passage to India airs on Sunday on BBC Two at 9pm.
