Judge Rinder revealed his ridiculously ripped body on Saturday in a shirtless selfie, which sent fans wild.
The reality star, a.k.a Robert Rinder, 46, is usually hiding underneath his judge’s robes in the courtroom or in a suit on Good Morning Britain. However, on the weekend, he unveiled his taut torso and ripping muscles in a snap on Instagram, which left little to the imagination.
Rob looked incredible as he flexed his muscles and displayed his bulging biceps while posing shirtless in tracksuit bottoms. Claiming his godchildren were behind the “thirst trap” post, he captioned the photo: “Thanks Hasbro for the new GI Rinder Doll.. and bless my godkids for stealing my phone and posting a thirst trap.”
Quick to comment on the sultry snap, which went down a storm with Rob’s fans, was the judge’s close pal, Rylan Clark, who replied: “Schlaaaaggggg,” to which the criminal barrister responded: “@rylan you’ve taught me so well. Thank you x.”
There were rumours of a romance between Rob and Rylan after they filmed their adorable BBC travel series together. However, both have insisted they’re just good pals, with Rylan posting on X: “I am not dating Rob Rinder.” Meanwhile, Rob told Good Morning Britain viewers: “Just to be clear, I’m in platonic love with him, I love you Rylan!” He also praised the BBC Radio 2 presenter, adding: “It’s all about authenticity, he’s one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met!”
The barrister is currently believed to be single and appears to have been spending much of his time in the gym. He previously opened up about his struggle with body image after stripping off for Loose Men’s Body Stories campaign in 2017.
Speaking about his experience, he shared: “In my late 20s I put on a lot of weight. People would say things but you internalise it. You’re expected as a man to laugh it off.
“There are things men say to each other that women wouldn’t. They rib each other rather than be supportive. There are certain taboos you just don’t say amongst women. We need to talk about it. Chances are your best mate at the pub feels exactly the same.”
Asked if gay men are more critical of themselves, Rob reckoned there’s been a shift in body image for all men. He shared: “What has changed is the kind of paradigm of beauty in the media. So straight men are just as affected by body image as gay men. “
