Robert Rinder in hospital hours after appearing on ITV Good Morning Britain

Robert Rinder has been flooded with well wishes after he was seen in hospital just hours after appearing on Good Morning Britain. The TV star, known to many as Judge Rinder, has made a string of appearances as the main host of the show and was back on Monday (February 13) alongside Ranvir Singh.

He found himself being 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 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, 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.

And viewers were quick to praise his shut down 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!"

But Rob's day couldn't have looked more different after the cameras stopped rolling as he was left undergoing an operation in hospital. Sharing pictures from his stint on the ITV news programme, the 44-year-old also posted
