Dr Ranj Singh recently addressed his decision to speak out about alleged 'bullying and discrimination' on This Morning. He shared that he believes this was the right thing to do, and that his comments were not about Phillip Schofield at all.
Two years ago, Dr Ranj left the show, and shortly after, Schofield revealed he had a secret affair with a runner on the show, leading him to resign from the broadcaster altogether.
At the Attitude Pride Awards 2023, Dr Ranj discussed his statement, saying he felt like he was 'managed out' for whistleblowing. He went on to say that it was not about himself or Phillip; rather, it was about creating a better working environment for everyone. He highlighted the importance of looking after staff in pressurised areas, such as in the NHS, where he works.
Dr Ranj also addressed the possibility of ever returning to This Morning. Meanwhile, Phillip Schofield has given several explosive interviews about the scandal, Holly Willoughby, and his mental health. He admitted to having an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with the former runner, and that it began when the runner was 20 years old.
He went on to say that his wife was 'very, very angry' when she found out, and that it was his two daughters who saved his life from suicidal thoughts. He apologised to Holly Willoughby for lying to her, and said he has 'lost his best friend'.
Dr Ranj Singh recently addressed his comments about alleged 'bullying and discrimination' on This Morning, saying he believes speaking out was 'the right thing to do'.
The former resident doctor of ITV's flagship show was adamant that his words were not about Phillip Schofield 'at all'.
Dr Ranj left the show two years ago, and shortly after Schofield's own ITV departure in the wake of his secret affair revelations, the doctor released a statement on why he had left.
Phillip Schofield had been on the show for over 20 years, and resigned from the broadcaster altogether a week later. He admitted to having an 'unwise but not illegal' relationship with a runner on the show, and lying to his bosses and colleagues about the nature of their relationship.
The 61-year-old then gave several explosive interviews with The Sun and the BBC, discussing the scandal, Holly Willoughby, and his mental health.
At the Attitude Pride Awards 2023, Dr Ranj discussed the statement he had released and said: 'I did everything I was supposed to do and everything that I believed was the right thing to do and hopefully some good will come out of all of this. It wasn’t about me. It wasn’t about Phillip at all.
'I’ve made no comment on that situation and my point was about creating a better working environment for everybody and hopefully something good will come of it. Generally speaking, workplaces need to be good for people’s well being. Okay, we all work in pressurised areas, I work in the NHS it’s really pressurised. But it’s really really important that we look after our staff and our employees as well.'
When asked if he would ever return to This Morning, Dr Ranj said he was not sure. However, he did take the opportunity to address the Phillip Schofield scandal and how it has affected the show.
In his tell-all interview, Schofield admitted to the 'unwise but not illegal' affair and apologised to his former co-presenter Holly Willoughby. He said he had 'lost his best friend' and had 'let her down' as well as the show and its viewers.
It is clear from Dr Ranj's statements that he is passionate about creating a better working environment for everyone. He hopes that something good can come out of his speaking out, and that workplaces will start to take more responsibility in looking after their staff and employees.
