Piers Morgan may be used to grilling politicians on GMB, but Judge Rinder claims he will be even tougher than the former host.
Lawyer and TV star Rob, 42, is currently a favourite to appear alongside Susanna Reid on the ITV programme.
It comes after Piers stormed off the show last week, following a debate with Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle.
What did Judge Rinder say?
Now, Rob says he is willing to give Piers, 55, a run for his money.
Speaking to The Sun, the TV star shared: “I think that Piers has been on that show for a few years, I think the politicians and people that whinge about the world that come on that programme to be cross-examined will consider Piers Morgan to be a birthday present.
“If I was on it, that’s all I’m saying, no other comment.”
I think the politicians will consider Piers Morgan to be a birthday present.
Meanwhile, recent reports suggest the star may be in with a chance due to his close friendship with Susanna.
An insider told the publication: “The dynamic between the two presenters would be instant because they have been good friends for years.
“Though he is often associated with light-entertainment shows, Rob is a no-nonsense lawyer who has the intellectual gravity to tackle any subject.”
Who is a favourite to replace Piers Morgan on GMB?
Meanwhile, there’s a whole host of other stars in the frame.
While Ben Shephard was an early favourite with bookies, Adil Ray could be in with a chance.
Furthermore, reports suggest Victoria Derbyshire may get the job.
