Dr Ranj Singh reflects on coming out as gay in his 30s

  • Dr Ranj Singh revealed he discovered he was gay through therapy at age 30, while married to a woman for seven years.
  • He sought therapy despite achieving career goals, feeling something was still amiss, which led to the realisation about his sexuality and the breakdown of his marriage.
  • The TV medic is now in a relationship with actor James Colebrook.
  • Singh addressed his absence from Morning Live, denying he was sacked and explaining he is on a break for brand collaborations, with intentions to return.
  • He also clarified that he has put his medical licence to practise on hold after 20 years in the NHS to pursue other dreams, but remains a fully registered doctor.
