Pretty sure his husband calls him Rob, not Judge

So, now you're telling me I shouldn't be a part of a forum? My word, you don't seem to realise how rude you're being do you?

I have made points about the topic of this thread which you have then made silly comments about. No-one else has done that, just you.

I think we'll leave this here now because we'll never see eye to eye on this.

You never know what they are up to

This fish is not accepting the blatant bait.

.... says the person labelling others "silly" and "stupid".

Do stop carping!

Lol

I wonder if he is Rob or Judge when he has been naughty

And I wonder what sort of level of naughtiness involves a name change!

I am thinking this over too much now.

For my tuppence now honestly I don't mind what he wants to be called. Shall we all do that?

Oh dear...I had the same thought....must go and wash my mind. Out...

Will be interesting to see what he prefers to be called once the show really starts?

Meanwhile it would be nice if folks actually remembered is last name is Rinder, not some vague version of Santa's sleigh pullers, or something to do with the weather, or the monarchy.

Is he even a real judge?

No. He isn't.

i hope they do stop calling him Judge all the time

and call him By his name

even the on screen leaderboard had it down as judge Rinder

Agreed. He isn't even a judge in his day job, he's a barrister. Presumably they did it because they thought too many people might not realise it was him if they called him Rob Rinder. Presumably it was also done with his consent. Should be easy enough to fix, though, if enough people point it out.

I agree. If we all call him Robert perhaps the PTB will catch on.

everyone knows who he is if people say judge and may not if they called him Robert so keeping it as it is would save confusion

people really will complain about anything, won't they. did it ever occur to you that maybe he asked to be referred to as judge rinder rather than his actual name? stress less, life will be far more fun.

He's not even a judge, it's just the name of the programme . It's so patronizing to the viewers .

I haven't seen most of those celebs before . Should they call them all by what they do .

Yeah, it is a bit annoying.
Like when Andrew Flintoff gets called Freddie like it's actually his name. That really gets on my tits.

But they've frequently called celebs by the name their best known by, even if it is a professional name. It's the only name their known as by the public.

DJ Spoony - real name Johnathan Joseph
Goldie - Clifford Joeph Price
Lulu - Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie or Lulu Kennedy-Cairns
Jamelia - Jamelia Niela Davis or Jamelia Byfield
Anastacia - Anastacia Lyn Newkirk

Robert Rinder is only known by many as Judge Rinder.

So I can't see the problem, especially if he doesn't mind and it's only some members the public who are being offended on his behalf.

It's a stage name! Pixie, Lulu, Goldie and so many more contestants have stag names. Plus Robert is best known as Judge Rinder, too.

Exactly Janet. This is the second thread we've had about the same thing and i've seen loads of posts whining about it too. I don't understand why people have a problem with it. If he commented about not liking it it would be different but he hasn't afaik

If it's his brand, then why not? Obviously his first name isn't 'Judge', whenever anyone refers to him personally they say 'Robert'. Seems pretty clear to me?

Exactly, Janet.

Surely there are far more important things to be getting indignant about?

So far I've been calling him Rinder. 😏
