Robert Rinder made a much-welcome return to Good Morning Britain on Monday (December 5) but was left holding back the tears as he opened up about a recent personal loss. The TV star, known to many as Judge Rinder thanks to his own show, was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show alongside Susanna Reid.
And during his latest appearance on the show as one of the main hosts, Rob made an emotional tribute to his late dog Rocco following his "sudden" and "unexpected" death last week.
The heartbroken criminal barrister announced to his fans that his beloved pooch passed away in a social media post on Friday (December 2). Posting photos of Rocco cuddling up to him as they both slept, Rob wrote: "My Rocco died suddenly yesterday. He blessed me with a lifetime of loyalty & limitless joy.
