Rob Rinder attempts to break stigma as he announces new project away from TV | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

The star went on to reveal why he’s personally invested in the matter.
Rob continued: “I know and have known a number of people that have worked in personal injury, it really mattered to me that the public understood what their legal rights are in the event that they were to experience some kind of medical negligence.

However, when asked whether he had any worries about filling the former newspaper editor’s shows, the barrister insisted that he didn’t.
Rob said: “Not really, I mean, lots of people have opinions on Piers, but people who actually know him will tell you,.
