Dr Ranj says he would jump at the chance to do Strictly again

dr ranj Singh would jump at the chance to do Strictly Come Dancing again. The TV doctor and presenter, who appeared on the show once before, linked that willingness to a wider reflection on how his public career has unfolded since training in medicine.

He said, “I'd jump at the chance to do Strictly again,” a line that lands as both a return signal and a reminder of how visible he has become across television. Singh has also appeared on Good Morning Britain, This Morning and The Great British Sewing Bee, and started presenting Get Well Soon in 2012.

Medway to television

Born in Medway, Kent, in June 1979, Singh moved from specialist paediatric emergency medicine into broadcasting after training in medicine. That path matters because his screen work is not a side note: it began with Get Well Soon in 2012 and later stretched across mainstream daytime television and stage work in Scrubs & Sparkles and & Juliet.

He said, “I knew I wanted to be a doctor around 10 or 11.” The line fits the rest of his story, because the same discipline that pushed him into medicine also helped shape a career built on live television, performance and public disclosure rather than a single lane.

Coming out at around 30

Singh said, “I finally came out to a friend of mine in later life, when I was around 30.” He added, “I was married, and obviously that relationship broke down, and then it was dealing with everybody else, friends and family.”

He also said, “I was raised in quite a traditional Indian family.” Paired with his description of himself as “quite strait-laced,” “very quiet,” and “very shy,” the comments show how much of his public confidence came after years of keeping himself small. The contrast is sharp: the adult presenter who now talks openly about identity used to say he would not “say boo to a goose.”

Strictly and the next appearance

The willingness to return to Strictly Come Dancing gives Singh another possible public platform, but the more immediate value of the interview is the way it ties together career, identity and personal fallout without separating them into neat boxes. For viewers who know him mainly from daytime television, the statement is less about nostalgia than about how he is choosing to frame his own story now.

“I'd jump at the chance to do Strictly again” is the cleanest signal in the interview: he is open to another run on a show that already helped define his public profile, even as he speaks plainly about the cost of coming out later in life. That is the version of Dr Ranj Singh audiences are getting now — not just the doctor on screen, but the presenter who is willing to put the hard part of his life on the record.
