  • Judge Rinder excites fans with his surprisingly ripped chest

    TV Judge, Robert Rinder surprised fans in last night’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing when he revealed his stunningly hot chest.

    Judge Rinder who is currently starring on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing whipped up audience excitement when his costume allowed viewers to get a view of what’s usually beneath his judging robes.

    The openly gay star of ITV’s Judge Rinder showed off his hot body as he danced showing off his rather impressive moves. The judge who is usually covered from head to toe certainly seemed to enjoy the chance to show off his abs.

    The 39-year-old  TV star impressed so much that he and his dance partner received a standing ovation.

    In an earlier interview the Judge, who lives with his husband, Seth Cumming, revealed why he was taking part in this year’s show. He said,

    “I’m a private secret dancer and I love to dance. The main reason is as my grandparents get older it’s a show they absolutely love. Although they’ve always been unconditionally proud of me I think there is something magical about being able to take part in something which gives them such joy and escapism especially as they suffer from all sorts of illnesses.”

  • INTERVIEW | Judge Rinder

    Robert Rinder swaps his gavel for some dancing shoes as one of the stars for this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing. The judge has been delighting ITV’s afternoon audiences for a number of years with his courtroom antics – but will he be able to command respect on the dancefloor?

    Why are you taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this year?
    I really love the show and I really love dancing, even though I’m not very good, I’m a private secret dancer and I love to dance. The main reason is as my grandparents get older it’s a show they absolutely love. Although they’ve always been unconditionally proud of me I think there is something magical about being able to take part in something which gives them such joy and escapism especially as they suffer from all sorts of illnesses.

    Which judge do you want to impress the most and why?
    Well I would say Craig Revel Horwood, the only difference is unlike him I’m actually able to raise a judicial eyebrow… But actually, I like to impress them all as I think they’re all amazing. I was a massive fan of Darcey Bussell even before she started Strictly and I’ve seen her in a number of ballets and as a huge fan of hers I’ll be actually quite intimidated to meet her – I’d really like her to say something nice, although I should say something nice as well.

    Have you been given any helpful advice or tips from any previous contestants?
    Yes, Susanna Reid typically told me just to be nice (I looked at her slightly perplexed thinking how on earth am I supposed to do that?) and Rachel Stevens who I grew up with said try to remember the steps and be talented (again that’s alright if you’re Rachel Stevens). She is amazing; she has always been super talented even when she was little. We used to play as kids; we’ve known each other since primary school.

  • Benedict Cumberbatch Married Judge Rinder And His Husband

    Now there are three amazing things about this story: they include Benedict Cumberbatch, Ibiza and a certain marriage between Judge Rinder and his partner.

    It’s not every day you can claim to be married by a superstar like Benedict Cumberbatch, but TV’s own Judge Rinder can say just that.

    The Imitation Game actor Benedict Cumberbatch married the larger-than-life Robert Rinder, who is ITV’s darling of afternoon TV. For those who aren’t in the know, Judge Rinder is the frontman of a hugely successful reality courtroom show, very much similar to Judge Judy, with a little more bite in it.

    In an interview with the Daily Mail, worries for his career were posed to the judge, who quipped,

    ‘It’s very sweet of you to be worried about my career,’ he says, ‘but I’m not sure anyone who knows me well will be surprised to find me doing something like this, and obviously I’ve told all my clients. I thought about it carefully before I dipped my toe in the water of entertainment. As long as I’m not bringing the bar into disrepute – which I don’t think I am – then it seems I’m on safe ground.’

    Along with Benedict, Rob shared his big day with Ivan Massow, who is planning to run for London Mayor this year.
