Robert Rinder forced to hold back tears on TV while talking with his mum about the Holocaust TV star Robert Rinder became understandably emotional on This Morning on Monday during a discussion about Holocaust Memorial Day.
Rob was visibly moved to tears when he talked about how proud he was of his mother, who is head of the ‘45 Aid Society, a charity set up in 1963 by Holocaust survivors.
