For many our first introduction to Rob Rinder was when his hit show Judge Rinder began on ITV back in 2014. The daytime programme, which propelled Rob to fame, saw him oversee civil cases in front of TV audiences from all over the UK. A decade on and a range of TV shows under his belt as well as books written, Rob is now a household name on television screens up and down the country. He joins Liam McConkey and Jo Lewis on the latest ITV Pridecast to discuss his career and the importance of supporting LGBTQ+ people for companies like ITV.
His most recent show, Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, saw him team up with his friend Rylan Clark where the pair visited some of Italy’s iconic cities to follow in the footsteps of the likes of 18th century socialites by immersing themselves in some of the finest art and culture in the world. Viewers get to see the incredible bond and friendship that the pair share and how they both encourage and challenge one another to take on new exploits during their travels.
And since the show was first broadcast, a second series has been commissioned with Rob and Rylan recently returning from India and filming their latest travel adventures there. During this episode of the ITV Pridecast, Rob also discusses how TV can have a limitless value in helping changing minds and attitudes. He says that TV has a huge power in transmitting people’s lived experiences to huge audiences that can actually bring about real change. He says we only have to see the impact of ITV’s hit drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office to see this.
Since becoming a well known figure, Rob has been vocal about being an openly gay Jewish man. During this episode he discusses how he had unconditional love from his mother but how he grew up during a time when it was concerning to be a gay man when society just depicted LGBTQ+ life in a very negative way.
In the episode Rob also chats about the advances the LGBTQ+ community has made, with regards to the law. He says that he is hopeful for the future and if we are to protect our LGBTQ+ rights we need to have a capacity to listen and rationally debate our concerns.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
