Queerphoria with Jack Guinness12 Sep 2024

Dr Ranj on his religious upbringing, Strictly and embracing queer joy!

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.

Ranj will be appearing as Lance in the hit musical &Juliet - on tour at various locations around the UK and Ireland from July 2024.
