The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Judge Rinder has faced many difficult situations on his ITV show over the years – but that was nothing until he faced Lanie (9) and Zach Spies (6).
The Spalding siblings are before the celebrity judge as part of his Christmas Eve show.
It all follows an incident where Zach’s Lego ship was destroyed.
He blames Lanie who loves gymnastics and being a contortionist.
But cousin Jake Abliz (6) from Mansfield is also involved.
Judge Rinder will settle the dispute on ITV1 at 5.30pm on Christmas Eve.
Zach said of being in front of the TV cameras in the famous court: “It’s really good to be on TV at Christmas.
“Judge Rinder was really nice.”
Lanie added: “It was amazing. I wasn’t nervous at all.”
The Spalding Primary School pupils were given their own dressing rooms and given a surprise at the end of their case hearing.
The family have already recorded the trailer that includes them and are set to get together with grandparents to watch the show on Christmas Eve, which
is also dad Rynhardt’s birthday.
He said: “It was a bit stressful as I didn’t know what they might come out with on national TV, but they were great and it’s going to look really good.
Mum Sarah said: “The whole thing was absolutely hilarious and just an amazing experience as well as being a very proud moment.”
Promoting the broadcast, ITV’s blurb on the show says: “Judge Rinder’s court is taken over by the children this Christmas as they’re let loose to bring their real life disputes to ITV’s courtroom for Judge Rinder to rule on.
“Friends’ fallings-out, squabbling siblings and family fracases all come in front of the judge in a big entertainment special for all the family.”
