There was heartbreak for Rob Rinder this week and ITV's Susanna Reid was there to support her friend and colleague as he fought back tears just moments into Monday, December 5, edition of Good Morning Britain. As the broadcasters began the show, the TV judge gave an emotional tribute to his dog, Rocco, as the personality shared news that the canine had died.
Rinder had already shared the news of his loss with his social media followers. Posting on both Instagram and Twitter he wrote: " My Rocco died suddenly yesterday. He blessed me with a lifetime of loyalty & limitless joy. I don’t speak about my private world normally. But wanted to share my profound sadness with anybody who has ever loved a dog. It is the deepest gift of unconditional love imaginable."
The broadcaster fronted today's edition of the ITV news programme with Susanna and again addressed his heartbreak. Expressing his support for GMB's 1 Million Minutes campaign to fight loneliness, Liverpool Echo reported that he added: "It's not just people. It's about needing to have an emotional connection and feeling a sense of mission and purpose.
