This Morning star Dr Ranj Singh has revealed he was rushed to hospital and in need of stitches after an accident. The 45-year-old TV doctor explained he had suffered from a fall over the Christmas period, where he ‘face-planted’. He shared a picture of a white bandage over his right eye, taken while in hospital, and wrote: ‘Not quite how I planned to spend my Saturday night.’.
After sparking concern, Dr Ranj clarified: ‘Apologies should have explained… I slipped and face-planted the pavement… earned myself 5 lovely stitches. ‘All sorted though! And thank you for the messages of concern. x.’. Just days earlier, Dr Ranj wished his followers a Merry Christmas, writing: ‘If, however or wherever you might be spending it… big Xmas kisses to you all! Let’s use it as a chance to spread a bit more kindness and joy.’.
The star regularly appears on the likes of Morning Live and Lorraine, and previously featured on This Morning. Earlier this year, he was forced to shut down claims that he’s no longer able to practise medicine after incorrect rumours that he’d lost his licence.

Setting the record straight, he took to X: ‘Please ignore the people on social media claiming I’ve “lost my medical licence”. Surprise surprise, this is completely untrue.’. He went on: ‘I intentionally put my Licence To Practise on hold earlier this year because I’m taking a bit of time off clinical work to pursue other projects (as you might have seen!).
