The show went on to share a throwback picture of his grandmother.
Composing himself, an emotional Judge Rinder continued: “Oh sorry. She was the spiritual and emotional epicentre of our family.
“My mum was a single mum and she would co-parent in many ways. She would bring us back to school and give us food.”
He added: “She didn’t have a day of unkindness or bitterness. All she ever wanted in the truest sense, she wanted us to be happy.
“If we were happy around her and she was at a party with us, you could see this overwhelming sense of delight.
“To think that she’s not with us obviously leaves us empty, but I think of the joy.”
