‘I Write, I Act, I Change’: Alice Carver Manifests Her Perfect Life By Hannah Lake
arts This novel has echoes of Bridget Jones and I was a bit, ‘well, it’s been done before…’. I adored Bridget Jones and rolled on the floor laughing (ROFL, I’ve been told) when I first read it.
An Open And Shut Case: A Time For Mercy By John Grisham
arts ‘A man of the law had been murdered in his own bed by his own gun…The killer had confessed and was in custody, and though only sixteen...old enough to know right from wrong’. What could be a simpler case even when capital punishment is an option? It has been a while but, when I looked on the holiday book-swap shelves, I could not resist the lure of the Grisham.
Innocent Until Proven Guilty: The Suspect By Rob Rinder
arts It seems that lots of celebrities are going down the ‘let’s publish a novel’ route. Perhaps it’s the aftermath of the pandemic when most people were stuck at home and took the opportunity to hit the keyboard. I’ve read a few: some have appealed, others not, some have been well-written, some not, although that is based on my personal opinion and preference and not intended to disparage genuine effort.

Like Moses, I wandered the desert with no phone signal - and my mind soared
A couple of weeks back, I was lucky enough to take part in the Marathon des Sables (“Marathon of the Sands”) alongside many splendid members of our armed forces. It’s an ultra-marathon that takes place in southern Morocco, ploughing right through the heart of the Sahara. Frankly, it was pretty intense. I did suspect that I’ve become a bit too accustomed to soft living. Doing shows from hotels with a minimum of 20 stars and 15 types of pillow does alter your baseline of comfort.

OPINION - Barry’s Bootcamp and a buzzcut - how Boris Johnson can revitalise his life
So, having decided to roll out of the Palace of Westminster “for now”, Boris Johnson begins the exotic life of an ex-MP. Meanwhile, the Muse of History can sharpen her pencils and finally decide whether he was Britain’s greatest hero or the punchline to some appalling cosmic joke. I’m ready to admit I don’t especially care for our former PM. I’ve only had one dealing with him which was rather like being harangued by a turbo posh Love Island contestant.
OPINION - Dad’s dementia is heartbreaking but it has made my family closer
My father turns 70 today (if you have a moment, please hum a bit of Happy Birthday in his honour). He has suffered from Lewy Body Dementia for a number of years. He will know he’s reached this milestone but his joy will need constant prompting. It will be muted, like hearing a party from a locked room that he cannot enter. His disease has robbed him of the uniquely human gift of being present in delight.
OPINION - I’m embracing JOMO after the shock of not being invited to the Coronation
Rob Rinder. Evening Standard byline photo. (NATASHA PSZENICKI) So the Coronation invites have gone out — and it turns out that I’m NRI’ed (Not Royally Invited). Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t checking the old doormat every day (anyway, I assume they got delivered by a swanky footman, like in Cinderella) but I did sort of hope for something.
Review | NetGalley
Review by James D, Reviewer Last updated on 18 Jan 2023 I was a little nervous before I started The Trial. Sometimes a well-known personality writes an ill-advised work of fiction and it absolutely bombs. For every Richard Osman book flying off the shelves, there are lots of charity shops full to the brim of other writer's unloved novels. Would Rob Rinder deliver?
I’ve lost my dog and one of my finest friends in the space of an awful week
It actually seems strange to remember that, seven years ago, I was pretty opposed to getting him. But eventually I was talked round, and my ex-husband and I brought Rocco into our lives. I’d say it took about four weeks for me to fall head-over-heels for him. Our souls chimed and — in that way that can happen between dogs and their dog-parents — we began to shape one another. You see, he was perfect for me. Half Lady Bracknell, half hot water bottle, all diva.
From Millionaire to MasterChef: Why Unscripted remains TV’s mainstay
“Corporate subconscious bias” was tested by lawyer and presenter Rob Rinder in a session designed to challenge TV folk’s preconceptions about the world of global formats and discover what it takes to create a hit. As Rinder put it: “There seems to be a general consensus that we should be investing in drama, that this is where the heart of commercial value is in television.
Richard Madeley Replaced By Rob Rinder In Good Morning Britain Presenter Shake Up
RICHARD Madeley was replaced by Rob Rinder for Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain in a presenter shake-up. Rob, 44, joined Charlotte Hawkins for the first show of the week, after Richard, 66, took a break from hosting duties. It’s the first time Rob has stepped in since appearing alongside Susanna Reid back in March. Rob’s return was a welcome change for some viewers, with one writing on Twitter: “YAY Rob Rinder is back! Sooooo happy, love it when he is on.
OPINION - Rob Rinder: My hatred of panto? It’s behind me. All of its silliness and fun is secretly serious business
(Natasha Pszenicki) Once upon a time, I was a full-on pantophobe. My mum took me to see one in Bournemouth when I was little and I specifically made myself hate it. I was an insufferable little snob back then and saving myself for Italian operas and Russian ballets, not Widow Twankey doing fart jokes with The Krankies. I grandly declared it wasn’t “my kind of thing”, ignored the show and consequently missed out on something magical.
Helen Dewdney - exclusive interview with Rob Rinder No. 2
Rob Rinder in the media: past, present and future In December 2019 Rob Rinder kindly give me a review for my book 101 Habits of an Effective Complainer. Having kept in touch since then, I recently undertook a series of exclusive interviews with him. Last week I published the first interview where he spoke about his barrister journey: Rob Rinder – From Barrister to TV Judge This time I ask him about his media career.
Helen Dewdney & Rob Rinder - exclusive interview Part 1

And he can talk big time! Rob spoke about life as a barrister, in the media and his own personal complaining habits. Rob Rinder – From Barrister to TV Judge Today we start with talking about his life before the media. How did you become a barrister?
SBS - Silent Warriors - The Authorised Wartime History
Britain's SBS - or Special Boat Service - was the world's first maritime special operations unit. Founded in the dark days of 1940, it started as a small and inexperienced outfit that leaned heavily on volunteers' raw courage and boyish enthusiasm. It went on to change the course of the Second World War - and has served as a model for special forces ever since. The fledgling unit's first mission was a daring beach reconnaissance of Rhodes in the spring of 1941.
Robert Rinder: Watching others panic-buying heart-shaped Valentine’s tat makes me happy to be single
© Provided by Evening Standard As part of my job, I’ll often find myself discussing highly emotive subjects — death, say, or what happened in the Strictly make-up room. I love to talk (mostly so I don’t have to listen to other people) and, as a rule, I never hold back. Quite the opposite. If you’re not gasping in real shock while we chat, either something’s gone wrong or you’re the Queen.
I expected to see a leprechaun riding a potato - the joys of Wild Mountain Thyme’s awful trailer
Rob Rinder (Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L) I am frittering away a lot of the quiet lockdown evenings by watching movie trailers … they’re like little entertainment canapés when you can’t stomach a three-course Hollywood blockbuster. So this week, like half the internet, I found myself watching the magnificently awful trailer for the upcoming film Wild Mountain Thyme. For those that haven’t seen it, it’s an incredible emerald flood of triple-distilled Oirish clichés.
As a single man with a perfect dog I’m hot property on the bubble market - who to choose?
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L When Tier 2 descended over London like a sad, damp cushion, it brought with it yet another new conundrum. Under Covid rules, single adults can form a social bubble with one other household… suddenly — as a single man with a perfect dog — I’m hot property on the bubble market.
The joy of friend-dropping, my take on Trump’s Covid and what I’ve learned about plastic surgery
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L It’s a funny thing when your friends find that someone special: every so often, they aren’t so much “special” as “having all the poise and charm of damp grey towel”. Everyone surely knows one couple (at least) where it’s happened. An impossibly glamorous, fascinating friend marries Boris Karloff with a charisma bypass.
Rob Rinder: I know it’s unlikely but I’m a massive grime fan and Cardi B is empowering a generation
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L I’ve never made a music video — alas, the world must wait for my cover version of Fernando (I’d want my mum on the maracas). But if I did put one together, I would hope it could have one droplet of the sheer magnificence of WAP: probably the most talked about four minutes and 12 seconds on the internet right now. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have crafted the most exuberant and defiant carnival of empowerment I have seen for an incredibly long time.
Rob Rinder: It’s becoming easier to lose friends and alienate people - all it takes is one political disagreement
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L Some people think my husband and I divorced because he would never move his damn shoes. Perhaps it had a tiny bit to do with it (these days I certainly sleep easier knowing that every clog and espadrille is in its proper place). But in reality our footwear rows were just part of the jolly squabbling inherent in every marriage (I don’t trust any relationship where both parties don’t occasionally loathe each other). No. It was a lot of things, of course.
I’m counting down the days until gyms reopen and I can return to my beloved Barry’s bootcamp
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L The reopening of gyms on July 25 can’t come soon enough. When I heard the news I felt a surge of joy and relief. I am quivering with excitement about getting back to it and I have, obviously, been using every ounce of my celebrity privilege to try to get the exact date and time of the first Barry’s Bootcamp class and book myself in. I’m don’t know whether it’s safe. though I’m sure gyms will do all they can.
How best to prepare children for life? I’d argue for teaching them debating skills
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L My post-Covid home disinfection threw up toe-curling photos of yours truly at university. I knew that I hadn’t exactly bloomed in my late teens but I had entirely forgotten (or blocked out) that I looked like a blimp of EastEnders’ Pat Butcher. It’s no wonder that I didn’t get any sex and that none of the partying substance abusers wanted to play with me. Like many late developers, it took me time to find my thing.
I get no thrill from the grill - why barbecue season is the last bastion of male chauvinism
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L Summer can make anything more beautiful. Like an estate agent’s dream vision, in the June glow, Croydon High Street transmutes seamlessly into Croydon Village. Best of all, the celestial shine adds a solid two points to the attractiveness quotient of nearly everybody. With all this happy weather, I had just started to embrace our lock-down new-normal when the restrictions began to lift and a new threat appeared on the horizon.
I’ve replaced exercise with cheese and gained a stone and a half in lockdown - don’t be like me
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L It’s 9am. I’ve been awake since 7.30 but I can’t make myself get out of bed. The dog wants his breakfast but I’m pretending not to understand his frenzied snorts. I’ve watched the same figure-skating video 23 times and I can’t stop. Usually by now I ‘d have burnt 1,100 calories, read the newspaper and be ready for the day.
Reclaim your lockdown - I may be at home but that doesn’t mean I want endless Zoom chats
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L You have nothing on, have a pleasant day!” My diary flashes this passive-aggressive message across my phone screen every morning. I used to ignore it, but it’s now like waking up next to a quietly seething ex.
I’ve been escaping to the 1920s - they had a bad start too but then came one hell of a party season
Rob Rinder: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures L I knew that I’d entered into the realm of the Covid-delirious eight days into the illness when I found myself transfixed for hours watching Made in Chelsea’s Jamie Laing (my handsome doppelgänger) and wondering why I was on telly fondling a woman. This seemed to go on for a sweaty, spluttering, gasping aeon. I only realised that the viral brain-fuzz had passed when I could finally read again.
Rob Rinder: Sport Relief desert challenge was 'most brutal endeavour of our lives'
Rob Rinder in Sport Relief: The Heat is On: Sport Relief Rob Rinder joined Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Frankie Bridge, Louise Minchin, Nick Grimshaw, Karim Zeroual and Samantha Womack last month for a gruelling race across the Namibian desert for Sport Relief. The trek - which was originally intended to be a race across a frozen lake in Mongolia, before shifting to Namibia over coronavirus fears - forced the crew to battle intense heat and treacherous terrain on a 100-mile journey.
