Uploading a selfie of himself and Kate in the studio, he wrote: “Good Morning Britain. Last day for a while.”
He then continued, saying: “A privilege to be gifted a platform to put truth to power for all of us.”
He then thanked GMB and the “brilliant” team, including Kate, Ranvir, and Charlotte Hawkins.

Robert Rinder on Good Morning Britain
Rob had viewers reaching for their tissues yesterday (Tuesday, August 23) after he paid an emotional tribute to co-star Kate.
His tribute came after her documentary, Caring For Derek, was nominated for a National Television Award.
Calling her “sunshine in human form”, Rob said: “I just want to say, you model the possibility against a backdrop of darkness. Of being light in every sense.”
“I’m going to use language from my grandma, I’m kvelling. I’m so proud of you today,” he continued.
“Your amazing documentary Caring For Derek being shortlisted for a National TV Award and your capacity to use the platform you have for change, for authenticity, just makes me proud to know you.”
“Oh, that’s so lovely,” Kate gushed.
