One of Morning Live’s most well-loved faces is reportedly dating his BBC co-star.
Rav Wilding, 46, is one of the BBC’s most recognisable faces – known for his work in highlighting scams and bringing criminals to justice. Many of the items that feature him on Morning Live revolve around staying safe and learning the warning signs of various crimes.
However, back in April, it was revealed that Wilding had made the tough decision to split from his now ex-wife Jill Morgan last year. The couple, who had been together for more than a decade, decided to call off their marriage as they realised they had been growing apart.

But now, it seems that Rav has quickly left his ten-year-long marriage behind him, and appears to have a new girlfriend – a woman who works on the show alongside him. The pair first met in 2020 but are now together after Rav’s split.

Speaking to The Sun, a source close to the show identified the woman as Rebecca Mason, a former Surrey Police detective, with a focus on online romance scams. “She’s been building a TV career on the side by going on shows like Hunted and W’s Red Flags, where she’s a talking head,” the insider added.
“They actually first worked together years ago when he was presenting Ill Gotten Gains and they’ve got the same agent too. The whole team at Morning Live know they’re together, especially since Rav and Rebecca went to Michelle Ackerley’s hen do a month or so ago.”
The source that the relationship has caused no harm to the show, and that their colleagues are thrilled they have managed to find love once again. Some producers of Morning Live and other experts have also given their relationship the green light, saying they make a great couple.

Mason was featured on Ill Gotten Fains during one episode that first aired some four years ago.
In the now-cancelled show, Wilding would follow the work of regional organised crime units in the police as they worked to bring down some of the country’s toughest criminals. They would often teach them a lesson by seizing their assets and selling them off to the public in an auction.
The pair have yet to go official with their relationship, but the duo have made no secret of their budding romance on their respective accounts. In one clip that Rebecca shared to her Instagram, she could be seen sat on Rav’s lap and mingling together with Rav’s loved ones.
