Inspiring, fun, engaging and genuinely enthusiastic - qualities you might not immediately associate with science and medicine, but Dr Ranj brings all four in abundance.

A doctor, television presenter, author, broadcaster and musical theatre performer, Dr Ranj has built a uniquely varied career around one simple skill: connecting with people. Whether he's making complex medicine easy to understand, interviewing a celebrity, stepping onto the dancefloor or performing on stage, he brings the same warmth, humour and infectious energy.

Ranj is the resident doctor and a co-presenter on BBC One's Morning Live, and was previously a regular medical expert on ITV's This Morning. He co-created and presented the BAFTA award-winning CBeebies series Get Well Soon, helping a generation of children and families understand their bodies and health, and co-presented ITV's prime-time series Save Money: Good Health and Save Money: Lose Weight. His extensive television credits also include The One Show, Inside Out, Watchdog, Good Morning Britain, Tonight and Channel 5 News. Proving his talents extend well beyond the consulting room, he also won the second series of ITV1's Cooking with the Stars.

In 2018, Ranj famously swapped scrubs for sequins when he competed on Strictly Come Dancing with professional partner Janette Manrara. The pair went on to join the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour in 2019, but dancing was only the beginning of Ranj's journey into performance. In 2021, he showcased his singing on ITV's All Star Musicals, earning praise from the judging panel - including musical theatre legend Elaine Paige - and revealing a side of himself audiences had rarely seen before.

That experience ultimately inspired Ranj to create his own sell-out West End show, Scrubs to Sparkles, combining music, storytelling and his trademark humour as he charted his unconventional journey from medicine to the stage.

Musical theatre has since become an increasingly important part of Ranj's career. In 2024 and 2025, he played Lance in the award-winning musical & Juliet, touring extensively across the UK and Ireland. He is also a popular fixture in pantomime, appearing in productions around the country and bringing his natural warmth, comedy and larger-than-life energy to the stage.

Medicine, however, remains at the heart of what Ranj does. He fronted his own ITV series, Dr Ranj: On Call, a weekly magazine show encouraging viewers to take greater control of their physical and mental health. On W Channel's Extreme Food Phobics, he worked with people experiencing some of the UK's most severe food phobias, offering expert insight and compassionate support.

Ranj has also taken his expertise into audio, co-hosting the weekly health podcast Steths, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll and the NHS podcast Think Which Service, as well as presenting a regular segment on BBC Asian Network.

Away from television and radio, he is a familiar voice across print and digital media, offering expert insight on a wide range of physical and mental health issues. He has written regular columns for Attitude, Now and Family Traveller, and has worked as an online health correspondent for NetDoctor.

Ranj is also a Sunday Times best-selling author. His books include Save Money: Lose Weight, How To Grow Up (And Feel Amazing!), Brain Power and How To Be A Boy (And Do It Your Own Way). His much-loved picture books include A Superhero Like You, A Superpower Like Mine and A Superfamily Like Ours. His latest book, Dr Ranj's Human Body Encyclopedia, published by Dorling Kindersley, brings together his medical expertise and passion for helping young people understand just how extraordinary their bodies are.

A passionate charity ambassador and sought-after host of live events and panel discussions, Ranj combines genuine expertise with an instinctive ability to connect with audiences of all ages. His medical training and experience allow him to tackle everything from complex health issues to the latest science headlines, while his specialist experience working with children, young people and families gives him a distinctive voice in medical broadcasting.

What makes Ranj unusual is the breadth of those worlds. He is equally at home discussing serious health issues on national television, communicating science to children and families, interviewing guests, hosting a live event or stepping onto a musical theatre stage.

Quite simply, Dr Ranj brings serious expertise without the serious face. Warm, knowledgeable, charismatic and hugely engaging, he has become a familiar and trusted presence for audiences of all ages - while continuing to prove that a career doesn't have to fit neatly into just one box.
