The news was revealed during This Morning on ITV earlier today, presented by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.
Dr Ranj said, āI’m so overwhelmed and excited to be part of this wonderful show. It’s an absolute dream come true for me! I’ve been a massive fan for so long, and I can’t quite believe this is happening, but I’m going to give it my best shot. Anyone that knows me knows that I love a bit of sparkle… so bring on the glitter! I canāt wait!!ā
