Judge Rinder reveals he was rushed to hospital after co-hosting GMG

Judge Robert Rinder was rushed to hospital hours after co-hosting Good Morning Britain on Monday.

The TV judge, 44, shared photos of himself lying in a hospital bed not long after presenting the ITV show with Ranvir Singh. 

Rinder revealed he suffered a prolapsed disc in his back which required urgent medical attention.

He wrote on Twitter: ‘Started the day holding politicians to account on ⁦@GMB & interviewing Lulu & Richie Sambora… Finished it having a prolapsed disc in my back repaired & healed.. 

‘Life can change in a moment.. Hold on to joy wherever you find it (thanks brilliant medical team).

A prolapsed disc – or slipped disc – is when a soft cushion of tissue between the bones in your spine pushes out.

It can cause lower back pain, numbness or tingling in the shoulders, back, arms, hands, legs or feet, neck pain and problems bending or straigtening your back.

Surgery is not usually needed but a GP may refer someone for surgery if the symptoms don’t improve.
