So good, he’s criminal! Judge Rinder’s Strictly dance goes viral
Robert Rinder has racked up nearly 300,000 views on YouTube for his performance to the song Mercy by Duffy
Judge Robert Rinder has set the internet ablaze after his raunchy cha cha dance for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing was uploaded to the web.
The 38-year-old Jewish criminal barrister and star of the self-named ITV courtroom reality show, has racked up nearly 300,000 views on YouTube for his tongue-in-cheek performance with pro dancer Oksana Platero to the song Mercy by Duffy.
In contrast, fellow Jewish contestant, model Daisy Lowe, who shot to the top of the leader board for the debut show in the series at the weekend, has only been watched just under 25,000 times by fans.
Perhaps it’s something to do with Rinder ripping off his judge’s robes to show off his bare torso…
