Good Morning Britain viewers have had a change of heart after Robert Rinder's most recent appearance on the ITV breakfast show. The TV personality best known as Judge Rinder has made several appearances on the news programme this year alongside different co-hosts.
After first hosting with Susanna Reid earlier this year, the barrister, 44, returned to the show on August 15 to present with Charlotte Hawkins. This Monday (August 22) Rob was then joined by Ranvir Singh to host the early morning programme.
Since presenting the show, viewers have witnessed Robert make it clear he 'doesn't care about getting in trouble' as he has far from held back in interviews. But earlier this week both Rob and Ranvir were slammed with criticism from viewers after what was described as a 'shambles' interview.

GMB watchers hit out at the presenters for continuously interrupting their guests during a segment discussing the ongoing strikes, with Robert accused of speaking over the guests.
But on Wednesday's programme, where Rob presented alongside Kate Garraway, viewers made a U-turn on their opinion of Robert, with many praising him during an interview with Daily Mail journalist Andrew Pierce.
The TV judge told Andrew he said a 'deeply stupid thing' amid a discussion about finding the killer of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, who was tragically shot dead at her home in Liverpool.
Responding to a remark by Andrew, Rob Rinder jumped in to say: "I'm sorry, no offence, but that's a deeply stupid thing to say. I'm afraid it is."
Viewers were quick to back Robert's stance on the matter and how he confronted the GMB guest over the comment.

@Wandoful tweeted: "My new obsession this week is watching Rob Rinder on @GMB. That man was made for presenting that show and @ITV need to take swift action to hire him on a permanent full time basis."
Other viewers also compared Rob to Piers Morgan, who used to host GMB, after seeing a similarity in his honest antics.
