Judge Rinder, 47, shows off unexpected muscles in new selfie

By

You might not expect it, but Judge Rinder is a total fitness fanatic, and the former Strictly Come Dancing star wowed his followers this week with a saucy selfie from the gym.

The 47-year-old looked incredible as he showed off his toned abs and pectoral muscles as he posed with a set of weights behind him. The star looked like he could be in the military with his physique, and this was amplified as he rocked a buzzcut and a set of dog tags.

In his caption, the star wrote: “Hard work, soft lighting,” as he also flexed in order to show off his large arms.

The star first shocked fans with his muscular physique when he competed on the 2016 series of Strictly Come Dancing alongside Oksana Platero. In his first dance, a steamy cha-cha-cha, the judge ripped the buttons from his shirt exposing his toned body.

At the time, one viewer exclaimed: “I did not expect Judge Rinder to be ripped,” while a second added: “Where has Judge Rinder been hiding those abs?!!!!”

Judge Rinder’s fitness journey

During an appearance on Loose Women back in 2017, the star admitted that he used to be incredibly unfit, but that deciding to run the London Marathon helped to get him into shape.

He confessed on the programme: “I got rather big. I was struggling with how I was feeling and used to eat. I wanted to get fit, it wasn’t about how I looked, but more about my mental health. With working out, you get this endorphin rush, which helped me concentrate and focus. Fitness helps with everything else.”

Alongside a picture of himself before his transformation, he added: “I had to be self-disciplined. I think, with weight loss, you have an epiphany moment and, for me, it was seeing that picture. I just wanted to get healthy.”

In an interview with Female First, the star shared: “When I was at university, I was too busy reading Proust instead of doing press ups. Even now, it depends what sort of mood I’m in. If I’m on the beach. I might not take my top off, [I might] feel a bit gross.

“I go to the gym every day, but I don’t necessarily go to look a certain way. I go really because my connection with exercise is about my sense of mental well-being.”

Video: After a six-month absence, Al-Nusairi begins his run-out with Al-Ittihad Having been sidelined since early last season, striker Abderrazak Hamdallah, known as Al-Nusairi, has finally returned to competitive action for Al-Ittihad. The club’s medical staff confirmed that he completed the full pre-match warm-up without discomfort and was subsequently included in the starting XI. Head coach Carlos Carvalhal expressed satisfaction with the forward’s progress, emphasising that the extended lay-off was necessary to fully recover from a persistent groin injury. “We did not want to rush him back too soon,” Carvalhal explained. “The most important thing was to protect his long-term fitness, and now he is ready to contribute.” Al-Nusairi’s return comes at a crucial time for Al-Ittihad, who are chasing a top-three finish in the Saudi Professional League. With 10 matches remaining, the club needs goals, and the Moroccan international’s proven ability to find the net could prove decisive. In his first appearance since September, Al-Nusairi showed flashes of the form that made him one of the league’s most feared attackers. He linked up well with fellow forward Romarinho, exchanged clever one-touch passes, and looked sharp in front of goal. Although he did not score on this occasion, his movement and understanding with the midfielders suggested that goals are not far away. Supporters, who had been calling for his return, welcomed him back with chants and banners. The positive atmosphere inside the stadium appeared to lift the entire team, and Al-Ittihad dominated possession for long periods. The coaching staff will now manage his game time carefully to ensure he regains full match fitness without risking another setback. With Al-Nusairi back in the lineup, Al-Ittihad’s attacking options have received a significant boost. His partnership with Romarinho promises to be a key factor in the club’s push for European qualification, and fans will be hoping that the goals start flowing once again
