Robert Rinder shares heartbreaking pics of meeting with Strictly partner's Ukrainian relatives

Robert Rinder has shared heartbreaking photos of himself being united with former Strictly Dance Partner Oksana Platero’s family who have escaped war-torn Ukraine as he continues to report from the front line.

The 43-year-old criminal barrister and TV star took it upon himself to offer support and assistance to 33-year-old Ukrainian professional dancer Oksana’s family as the Strictly star is trapped by work commitments in the USA while war ravages her home country due to Vladimir Putin ’s illegal invasion of the European nation.

The Judge Rinder star – who was partnered with Oksana in season 14 of Strictly back in 2016 – has been updating fans and followers via social media as he sought to find his friend’s family members and bring them supplies.
