Robert Rinder has been flooded with get well soon messages from concerned fans just hours after appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Monday (February 13). The TV star, known to many as Judge Rinder, shared photos of himself in hospital following his appearance on the show alongside Ranvir Singh.
During the show, the 44-year-old was praised by viewers after he took deputy leader of the Labour Party Angela Rayner to task over whether her party would be committed to reducing government spending.
Manchester Evening News reports that at one point in the interview, the criminal barrister interrupted Angela as he said: "I’m so sorry, I’m going to get into terrible trouble on social media, I don’t really care – these are not difficult questions." Then at another point, Robert also snapped: "Cleaning up politics is important, I'm talking over you Angela Rayner because we don't have time, it's not a party political broadcast."

And viewers were quick to praise his shutdown of the MP. @sonya_grattan tweeted: "#GMB well done Rob Rinder - keep trying to pin down those politicians to get straight answers!" @SarahHarkin2 posted: "@GMB got to love Rob we don’t have time this is not a party political broadcast #gmb."
But Robert's day couldn't have looked more different after the cameras stopped rolling as he was left undergoing an operation in hospital. He shared photos of himself on Twitter, a selfie and of him in a medical gown while laying in a hospital bed.
The TV presenter said: "Started the day holding politicians to account on @GMB & interviewing Lulu & Richie Sambora…
"Finished it having a prolapsed disc in my back repaired & healed.. Life can change in a moment.. Hold on to joy wherever you find it (thanks brilliant medical team)."
Shocked fans sent their support to the celebrity following his tweet. @cezzaedwards commented: "Take care lovely. I hope you're soon on the mend."
@CoombsSamantha said: "Best wishes for a speedy recovery. We need your voice of reason on our televisions, especially where politicians from all sides are concerned." While @Rugbylad37 wrote: "Get well soon. You was great on GMB this morning."
"Wow! Life is so precious and we never know what can happen.. wishing you a speedy recovery" added @MarkJRatcliffe.
And the post also prompted calls for Rob to be made a permanent host on GMB. @stacey_algar said: "I thought you were great on tv this morning. Can’t you take the slot permanently?" @gigijordanlashes commented: "Absolutely love watching you Rob, you are real, honest and always put the public 1st. Please come on the show more often."
