<p>The barrister and TV judge, who himself fell ill with the virus last month, said his grandfather died of <em>“this terrible disease”</em> on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>The 41-year-old, stylised as Judge Rinder, announced the news during a tearful appearance on This Morning during which he urged the public to remain optimistic about the nation’s efforts to combat the outbreak.</p>

<p>He told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford that his grandfather had <em>“survived the Second World War”</em> and was a man who <em>“determined and conspired to see joy in the world”</em>.</p>
<p>Speaking via video call, he said: <em>“As much as there is terrible and appalling news out there, we also as a community, as neighbours, as a country, need to remember that there are thousands of people who are recovering from this disease every single day, that our police are doing their very best, our front-line workers are too – and that we, as a nation, are responding positively.</em></p>
<p><em>“That is absolutely the message that I know he would have wanted to share.</em></p>
<p><em>“Whenever I saw him, which was very often, I loved him very much, it was: ‘What good news is there, son?’</em></p>
<p><em>“That’s something that that generation reminds us all of. It has been a challenging time but I remember him in that positive way.”</em></p>
<p>He said people can choose to <em>“drown ourselves in the negativity and the horror, or choose to galvanise ourselves to be at our very best”</em>.</p>
<p>Rinder appeared on This Morning last month after recovering from coronavirus and seeing out his time in self-isolation.</p>
<p>Describing his symptoms, he said: <em>“Terrible temperature, appalling cough and lying with my feet on the ground.</em></p>
<p><em>“My head on the bed, in a coma watching the Kardashians. So I must have been really ill.”</em></p>
