Rav Wilding on Morning Live

Maybe because he had a proper job before becoming a presenter, having served in the Met for nearly a decade. Just as Judge Rinder was a barrister for 15 years. A lot of celebrity presenters haven't actually been in the real world outside TV, so perhaps it's refreshing to be reminded that a few have.

Who? I don't recall hearing that name before.
That said I am dreadful at remembering names and faces, so I find such introductions helpful.

Also British Transport Police and Security Guard at Harrods, but I suppose Ex-detective just sounds better?

Four years in the army first, he had to leave on medical grounds when he had a serious break to a leg.

Never heard of him either Oldnproud

Neither do I, too busy with GC, gym and other stuff.

I don't find anything about Rav Wilding irritating.

Scam Interceptors used to be on at 8pm, GrannyGravy.

I quite fancy Rav Wilding

Yes 👍🏻

Get in the queue😂

Me too

I heard he had 5 years police service and that it was quite a while ago. I had 12 years nursing quite a while ago and no way would I describe myself as a nurse nowadays. Given all the criticism of the Met nowadays think I'd want to keep quiet about 5 years service

Not all the Met are rogues.

Our GS and his wife definitely aren’t.

I think he is good on the Scam subjects he discusses - just don't like his latest look - nasty facial hair with his retreating hairline disguised with forward combed hair!! Makes him look dirty, in need of a good wash!!

Never heard of him, mind you I don't watch TV so that's probably why

nasty facial hair

Ooh, that is rather nasty.

I take it you dislike beards and in fact many men have a receding hairline. Some women have thinning hair too.

You do know he rejoined the Met in 2020 to help out with the covid crisis? So not just a former policeman, a pretty recent one too.

Are you suggesting that all Met police officers are corrupt?

Yes! I’d noticed them saying that too. Seems so unnecessary and it only started recently. I thought it was just me!

For anyone watching him for the first time it is probably reassuring to know he has relevant knowledge and experience to be giving advice about scams and fraud. I watchhim regularly and it doesn't irritate me being told again.

Nor me, jocork.
