This Morning: Dr Ranj reveals he has considered leaving TV due to Holly and ... trends now
This Morning star Dr Ranj has confessed that the feud between former colleagues Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield has left him questioning his future in TV.
Dr Ranj, whose full name is Ranjit Singh, had been a resident doctor on the show, working alongside the hosts from 2016.
In audio obtained by The Sun, Dr Ranj, 43, is heard opening up to host Johnny Seifert on his The Secure the Insecure Podcast about the impact the Holly and Phil saga is having on his mental health.
The now BBC Morning Live personality said: 'I've had a bit of a wobble this week, where we're kind of thinking, hang on, do I fit in here?
'Does this align with my values? It feels like this isn't the kind of environment that I want to be a part of. And there's been a lot of negativity around various parts that we're all part of this process.

ITV bosses are facing a dilemma as former best friends Holly and Phil continue to host This Morning despite falling out off camera
'Is this really a place for people like us where we're thinking, hang on, this is not okay, you know, what's going on and what we're hearing doesn't align with our values.'
Dr Ranj, who was part of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, also admitted he was facing somewhat of an 'identity crisis' as well.
He went on to say that he did not know how he now fits in amid the fallings-out between people he knows well, but later insisted that he is 'confident enough to be who I am'.
Dr Ranj, who also presented ITV1's Save Money Good Health with Sian Williams, added that he has his 'core values' no matter what is going on around him.
His comments come as host Phil is said to be resisting calls to quit despite his popularity with the show's viewers taking a hit amid the continuing off-screen dispute with Holly.
The awkward feud between the former best friends began in September when the pair were criticised after avoiding the queue for the Queen's lying in state.
The duo have so far failed to address their rift since re-partnering on This Morning - as they returned to the sofa for a fourth day following time apart when Phil had taken a break during his brother's trial for sex crimes before Holly was struck down with shingles.
In a bid to ease awkwardness, today's show opened with a brief speech by the robot, which described This Morning as 'the UK's number one breakfast show'.
