Ryan Seacrest is paranoid his BlackBerry will give him wrinkles.

The 'American Idol' presenter is reportedly terrified he is going to fall victim to unsightly lines on his neck from bending over to write text messages on his communications device.

A source said: "Ryan's a perfect candidate for dreaded BlackBerry Neck – he's texting all day long and worried he'll get ugly wrinkles.

"He keeps showing everybody his neck and asking if they can see anything."

Ryan – who is in a relationship with Julianne Hough – is now trying to adopt a different stance when composing his messages in order to cut down the chance of getting wrinkles.

The source added to National Enquirer magazine: "Now he's trying to train himself to text without bending."

Ryan, 36, may find it hard to reduce his BlackBerry use as he has previously admitted he is happy to work seven days a week – even though it gives him recurring dreams about time.

He said: "I'm tired, but I'm used to it. You know when you watch video screenings and there's a time code in the corner. I have dreams about time codes.
