Judge Rinder reveals David Beckham is his gym buddy as he gets in shape for Strictly
The TV judge ran alongside the super fit dad-of-four
JUDGE Rinder has revealed he has a rather famous gym buddy – David Beckham.
The star – who has been hitting the gym hard to be in shape for Strictly – bumped into the football superstar during a training session, but failed to recognise him at first.
“Apparently he was looking at me. I didn’t know who he was!”
The courtroom judge went on to say that he was actually rather unfazed working out next to the hunk and instead he was just concentrating on the class.
Robert, who is partnered with Oksana Platero on the show, also said that Strictly is something he considers as ‘fun’.
"I have done really serious cases in my job, worked with victims of crime, made programmes about families whose lives have been devastated by serious violence,” he said.
“So I’m going out in glitter – it puts things in perspective.
“I decided early on to go with it and have fun. I have never had a dance lesson.”
Meanwhile Robert’s hard work in the gym seems to be paying off – judging by his body on the BBC dancing show.
During the first show of the series he delighted viewers as he revealed his naked torso during his energetic cha-cha-cha.
However he has stated that he will not be stripping off any further than that.
He said: “Bearing in mind it’s before the watershed I won’t be doing the full monty. I want people to keep their Saturday night suppers down.”
