Rob Rinder

Rob Rinder qualified as a barrister after leaving university but after several years at the bar he took up the role of Judge Rinder on ITV’s afternoon show. In this episode he talks about his coming out to friends and family but also about his experience of growing up “asphyxiated by the cloak of shame” and without any LGBT representation in the media. He also talks about his appearance on the show ‘Who do you think you are’ where he explored his Jewish heritage, his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing and how same sex dance partners are a vehicle for good. He also talks about diverse matters such as his university dissertation on gay porn and the issue of diversity in the legal profession.
