Good Morning Britain viewers slammed Judge Rinder  over a stunt today which saw him wearing a vest that mimics one of the symptoms of the menopause to help men ‘empathise’.  

The presenter was hosting today’s show with Charlotte Hawkins and wore the vest to discuss the issue of menopause with Carolyn Harris MP, the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on menopause, and Dr Hilary. 

The vest is meant to raise awareness of one of the symptoms women have to go through once they enter menopause.  

Carolyn Harris said she feels the vest is a great way to make break the taboo around menopause and to make the discussion of symptoms more ‘mainstream.’

However, GMB viewers didn’t share her sentiment and said it was a ‘patronising’ move to make Judge Rinder wear the vest. 

It comes weeks after BBC Radio 2 star Jeremy Vine donned a similar vest while presenting his lunchtime show.

‘I’m not sporting a new fashion or auditioning to be in Line of Duty. This is a meno-vest,’ Rinder said, showing off the vest on the show. 

He had only been wearing the vest for five minutes, but joked it felt like ‘five years.’  

‘It’s been heating up parts of my chest and neck and it’s meant to mimic hot flushes, one of the 40 symptoms experienced during the menopause,’ he explained. 

‘And it’s used a bit to increase men’s empathy with women suffering with the condition.
