Robert Rinder has shared the heartwarming moment he tracked down the family of his former Strictly Come Dancing partner after they fled Ukraine for Poland.
Ukrainian pro-dancer, Oksana Platova, branded the TV judge as “truly remarkable” after he made the trip to eastern Europe to help locate her family. Robert, 43, has been keeping fans updated on his quest via social media, and shared some touching shots on Wednesday of him hugging Oksana’s relatives on Twitter and Instagram.
The post read: “Oksana’s family: Auntie Lidya and Grandma Zoya. We managed to reach them this morning with a wheelchair & some medical supplies. Despite having nearly nothing, they are ‘grateful for everything’.” The British barrister revealed that he and his fixers had found the two women alongside Oksana’s grandfather - who is suffering from Parkinson’s - safe in Tuchow in south-east Poland after they had crossed Ukraine’s western border.
