Judge Rinder says he’s ‘delighted to have a new viewer’ as Liam Payne reveals him and Cheryl are huge fans of his show – and passes his verdict on baby Bear
The TV judge has one new viewer in the form of the celebrity couple's offspring
JUDGE Rinder has revealed he is absolutely thrilled that Cheryl Fernandez Versini and Liam Payne are fans of the show.
Furthermore, the 38-year-old TV judge is beyond excited that he has one more viewer in the form of Chez and Liam’s two-month-old baby boy, Bear Payne.
The judge – full name Judge Robert Rinder – also gave his opinion on 33-year-old Cheryl and 23-year-old Liam’s choice of baby name.
And it transpires the star deeply approves of the stars less-traditional choice.
"Bear is a splendid name, and I'm delighted to have a new viewer," Robert told The Sun Online.
The endorsement follows Liam's confession that his young family enjoy nothing more than gathering together to watch daytime TV.
The former One Direction star revealed he’d become a fan of Judge Rinder after watching it with his partner Cheryl and their little boy at their family home in Surrey.
Liam’s admission came after he recognised a fan from the hit ITV series as he signed autographs in London.
As a fan approached him for an autograph, Liam said to him: “Were you on Judge Rinder?”
As the man replied that he was, Liam told him: “I saw you, I saw you.
“There’s a lot of daytime TV at home now we’ve got the baby.”
After posing for a picture with his new pal, Liam said: “I didn’t see the end so don’t tell me what happened! Just say you won!”
Liam and Cheryl had previously stayed tight lipped about the birth of their baby boy on 22 March.
The singer was all smiles as he continued to take pictures with his devoted followers and told them Bear was “good” when asked how he was.
