TV DOCTOR Ranj Singh sparked concern after revealing a secret hospital dash which left him with stitches in his head.
The former This Morning and Strictly star, 45, shared a picture of himself with a bandage on his forehead, saying: “Not quite how I planned to spend my Saturday night.”
He was bombarded with messages from concerned fans who were left in the dark about his injury.
He later shared a note on Instagram explaining his nasty accident.
“Apologies, I should have explained,” said Dr Ranj Singh.
“I slipped and face-planted the pavement.
“Earned myself five lovely stitches.
“All sorted though! Thank you for the messages of concern.”
The regular This Morning contributor quit in 2021 before the Phillip Schofield scandal.
The former host was forced to leave This Morning after 22 years following a fling with a much younger runner.
The presenter called it an “unwise, but not illegal” affair.
Meanwhile, Dr Ranj spoke about a toxic culture of “bullying” during his former role on the ITV daytime series.
The Sun later revealed he had voiced his concerns about staff behaviour behind the scenes.
But in a stark social media statement, he said his complaints led to him being phased out.
“I was on the show for ten years and I genuinely loved and valued working there,” Dr Ranj said.
“However, over time I grew increasingly worried about how things were behind-the-scenes and how people, including myself, were being treated.
“I didn’t know the truth about what was going on with Phillip, but I do know the issues with This Morning go far beyond him. It takes more than one person to create a culture.
“So I did what I thought was right … I then found myself being used less and less.”
Dr Ranj continued: “I even took my concerns directly to the top of ITV.
“The culture at This Morning had become toxic, no longer aligned with ITV values, and I felt like because I whistle-blew I was managed out.”
Dr Ranj – an NHS doctor for more than 20 years – went on to front his first ever BBC Radio show, Motivation, to showcase an array of tunes as well as motivational tips, health hacks and life advice.
He stepped down in March.
HE has 20 years' experience as a doctor in the NHS - and also works on TV to give viewers his health opinions.
