Dr Ranj Singh’s future on BBC’s Morning Live is uncertain after being quietly replaced by a new cohort of TV doctors, according to reports.
The NHS clinician, 46, who was a regular on the show to offer medical advice, has been off air since July 2025 after he controversially signed a lucrative deal to work for the fat-jab company, Voy, alongside Coleen Nolan.
BBC bosses are said to be ‘really impressed’ by The Traitors series three star Dr Kas Ahmed and Dr Aziza Sesay who have joined the panel of medical experts alongside Dr Xand van Tulleken, Dr Punam Krishan and Dr Oscar Duke.
‘Dr Ranj hasn’t been a regular expert on Morning Live for a long time now. With weight loss injections being very topical at the moment, it would have been inappropriate for him to have been discussing it on-screen having signed a deal to promote a weight loss company,’ a source told The Sun.
‘While he’s stepped aside to focus on other freelance work, some fresh faces have been brought in who have really impressed bosses.
‘Having a pool of experts who dip in and out of the show is really important to the Morning Live crew. It’s very much a team effort.’

Daily Mail has contacted Dr Ranj’s representative and the BBC for comment.
It’s not known what the TV doctor is being paid for the potentially lucrative deal, however, he was previously paid £22,500 to feature in an AstraZeneca advert about childhood flu.
Dr Ranj’s last social media post on Voy’s page was November 13 and it isn’t clear when he will return to the programme.
He previously told Coleen in a video back in October: ‘The reason why platforms like Voy are so effective and so helpful and useful to people is because they bring everything under one roof.
‘So you’ve got coaching to address lots of aspects of your life and lifestyle, and you’ve got clinical support.’
The company, which has the backing of several educational institutions including the University of Oxford, charges a minimum of £169 for its monthly weight loss injections.
The doctor continued: ‘It’s all in one platform, so it’s designed to make it as easy as possible to get all that help in one place, but also it’s designed to make it as personalised to you as it can be.
‘There’s research that shows that using a platform like Voy is more effective at losing weight and keeping it off, and that’s why it’s so important.’

The BBC previously confirmed that as a freelancer, the TV doctor is free to undertake paid work away from the broadcaster.
A BBC spokesman said: ‘Dr Ranj is a freelancer who can undertake work outside of the BBC in line with editorial guidelines.
‘He has stepped away from his role on Morning Live while he fulfils this third-party engagement.’
Clinical options offered by the platform include Mounjaro and Wygovy fat jabs and coaching.
So-called fat jabs have been a phenomenon since they made their way into mainstream use in the 2020s.
They work by suppressing a person’s appetite, offering a non-surgical alternative for those looking to lose weight faster.
