Robert Rinder has been treated in hospital hours after appearing on Good Morning Britain today (Tuesday). The TV star, known as 'Judge' to viewers, was hosting the ITV breakfast programme with Ranvir Singh.
He posted on social media to reveal to fans that, after the cameras stopped rolling he was undergoing an operation. Sharing pictures from the ITV news programme, the 44-year-old also posted images of him in a medical gown while laying in a hospital bed, reports the MEN.
Rob 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.
At one point in the interview, Rob interrupted Angela saying: "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, the criminal barrister 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.
Viewers were quick to praise his treatment 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."
@Warzoid shared: "Rob Rinder, single-handedly restoring political balance to British network television on #GMB." @maxcottis added: "Please please convince Rob Rinder to take up a regular spot….finally a co- presenter worth watching!"
Later on, he took to his social media accounts to show the different sides to his day.
"Started the day holding politicians to account @gmb then meeting @lulukc and @therealsambora, ended it having a prolapsed disc in my back healed," Rob penned alongside the post. "The challenge of life is that it can change at any moment….Hold on to joy wherever you find it…(feeling much better now.. thank you incredible medical staff) x."
