This Morning toxicity 'goes far beyond' Phillip Schofield, claims Dr Ranj Singh

TV doctor Ranj Singh believes the furore surrounding This Morning shouldn't stop with Phillip Schofield.

It's two years since Singh jumped ship over to BBC One's Morning Live, having appeared regularly on its ITV counterpart from 2016, and now he's decided to share his perspective on what went down in light of Schofield's downfall.

Hitting Instagram on Sunday, the 43-year-old wrote in a statement: "I was on the show for 10 years and I genuinely loved and valued working there. However over time I grew increasingly worried about how things were behind the scenes and how people, including myself, were being treated.

"I didn't know the truth about what was going on with Phillip, but I do know the issues with TM go far beyond him. It takes more than one person to create a culture."

Apparently, Singh raised his concerns with those at the very top of ITV but quickly found his screentime diminishing.

"The culture at This Morning had become toxic, no longer aligned with ITV values, and I felt like because I whistle-blew I was managed out," his post continued.

"There are some good people in TV, but we need to be brave and stand up to those who aren't. Even if it's scary as hell, we have to do the right thing otherwise nothing will change."

Over in the comment section, many fellow TV stars thanked Singh for speaking out.

"Massive respect to you," responded Denise Van Outen, while Kate Silverton added: "The truth can be hard to hear for those who don't want their illusions destroyed. #cognitivedissonance - however the truth ultimately outs."
