Robert Rinder will switch his dancing shoes for his barrister brogues
AFTER a brief foray into the world of the foxtrot and waltz on Strictly Come Dancing Judge Rinder will be back to doing what he does best in the courtroom this month.
In news set to delight the legal eagle’s legions of TV fans usher Michelle Hassan, who stars alongside the barrister on Judge Rinder’s self-titled ITV show took to Twitter to reveal the next show will air on Monday, February 6.
An eager viewer quizzed her: “Hi Michelle when does @JudgeRinderTV return?” to which she replied with the date and a grimacing Emoji icon.
Another show fan then joined the conversation and gushed: “Best news I have had in ages,” while another posted: “I can’t wait, enjoyed Jeremy’s hospital programme, but noone beats out judge.”
Earlier on Friday night, Michelle – who juggles her usher role with being a Pilates teacher – watched her co-star work his fancy footwork on one of his three dates on the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
He stepped in to take Ed Balls’ place during the three Manchester shows after the former MP had to bail out due to prior commitments.
Judge Rinder, known as Robert off-screen, was partnered with professional Oksana Platero who joined the show last year.
After their partnership was announced he said he had “never been this nervous about meeting a girl” before his pairing.
The pair wowed viewers with their energetic routines yet left Strictly in week 11 after losing out in the dance off to finalist Ore Oduba.
Recently the worlds of reality TV collided as ex Big Brother star Rebekah Shelton starred on the ITV legal show.
Fans will better know her as Rodrigo Lopes when she starred in the 2009 series before her full gender transition five years later.
Now she will sit face-to-face with the former Strictly dancer in the dock as she is grilled about a missed payment for her £1,400 breast augmentation.
Rebekah dressed in a smart dark wrap dress, was legally challenged by pal Teena who claims she leant her the money yet has only received £600 back.
While in the dock she told Judge Rinder she worked as a call girl in London and could earn up to £10,000 a month.
Yet things got fiery as she slammed her ex mate Teena during proceedings.
She said: “Teena used to get crazy with me.
“Then she used the fact of the money.
“A crazy example – she knew I was having sex but she called me about 20 times.
“I couldn’t concentrate – the phone was calling, calling.”
Cheeky Judge Rinder then raised a laugh from the viewing gallery when he quipped: “Couldn’t you have put it on vibrate?”
He recently penned a comment piece for The Sun where he said the Section 40 law was a threat to the press, intended to protect privacy not celebrities right’s to be hypocrites.
