Inspiring, fun and engaging — not words often associated with science and medical experts, yet Dr Ranj combines all three with infectious enthusiasm.

Ranj is a TV personality with a difference: a flourishing NHS clinician, specialising in the wellbeing of young people; and an exciting on-screen talent who can turn his hand to any subject.

With an impressive TV career already under his belt, Ranj is certainly someone you will continue to see a lot more of in the future. He is a resident doctor on BBC1's leading daytime series Morning Live, co-presenter of ITV's prime-time series Save Money: Good Health & Save Money: Lose Weight and co-creating host of BAFTA award-winning CBeebies series, Get Well Soon. He was also a regular medical expert on This Morning. As well as these flagship shows, Ranj is a regular contributor to programmes as wide-ranging as The One Show, Inside Out and Watchdog; ITV's Good Morning Britain, Tonight and Channel 5 News. He also won the second series of the ITV1 cookery series Cooking With The Stars.

In 2018 Ranj swapped his scrubs for sequins as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant, partnered with Janette Manrara. The dancing duo also took part in the Stricly Live Tour in 2019. He got to perform again on television, this time singing on ITV's hugely popular series All Star Musicals.

Dr Ranj fronted his own ITV series – Dr Ranj: On Call – a weekly magazine show going back to his roots as a medical professional, aiming to galvanise the British nation into taking control of its physical and mental health. His latest series is Extreme Food Phobics for W Channel where he offers help and support to some of the UK's most severe food phobics.

Dr Ranj also co-hosts Steths, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll; a weekly health podcast with a twist, in association with Dr Tijion Esho, Dr Zoe Williams and Dr Sara Kayat, as well as the NHS Podcast – Think Which Service.

Off air, his work can be found in numerous magazines and websites where he gives expert opinion and advice on a range of physical and mental health matters. Ranj has regular columns in Attitude, Now and Family Traveller magazines, as well as being an online health correspondent for NetDoctor. He is a Sunday Times best-selling author having written three hugely successful books: How To Be A Boy And Do It Your Own Way, How To Grow Up (and Feel Amazing) and The No-Worries Guide For Boys, as well as two children's school books with Oxford University Press. He has also released three of his own very successful picture books: A Superhero Like You, A Superpower Like Mine and a new title for 2023. As a passionate charity ambassador and a sought-after host of live events and panel discussions, his warmth and enviable dedication make him a valuable voice in this space.

Ranj's training and experience make him well-qualified to cover a broad range of medical topics and science headlines. Furthermore, being the only TV doctor who specialises in children, young people and families gives Ranj the leading edge in this field.

His expertise makes him the perfect medical spokesperson, and his broader passions and hobbies enable him to give a unique and distinctive insight into any subject. Ranj's charisma and style have made him a household name amongst children and adults, and his impressive social media following highlights his widespread outreach and appeal.
