ITV star Dr Ranj Singh reassures fans following a robbery after attending the Brit Awards, where he lost his watch

Dr Ranj Singh, the popular ITV doctor known for his appearances on Good Morning Britain and This Morning, has shared that he was the victim of a robbery following a night out at the Brit Awards. The incident occurred as he was heading home from Soho after the ceremony, though the TV medic assured fans he wasn’t physically harmed.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday night, Dr Singh explained the situation, saying, “I had such a fantastic time last night. Unfortunately, while walking to catch a taxi, a man approached me and took my watch.” He went on to say, “It all happened so fast, and I’m grateful that I wasn’t hurt. The thief got away with my watch, but it could have been much worse.”

He revealed that in an impulsive moment, he chased after the robber, but realised this was a dangerous move. “I now know chasing someone is not the best idea as these situations can lead to dangerous traps,” Dr Singh reflected. Although initially hesitant to speak about the incident out of embarrassment, he later decided to share it with his followers as a precautionary reminder to be vigilant when out late, even in areas thought to be safe.

“Please stay safe, especially when heading home at night. Let’s look out for one another,” he concluded.

Support poured in from his celebrity friends, with Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse offering her sympathy: “So sorry this happened to you.” TV presenter Gaby Roslin also sent her well wishes: “Hope you’re ok, sending big love.”

This incident came shortly after Dr Singh had proudly shown off his new Clogau watch on social media, a piece valued at between £400-500, expressing his excitement about attending the Brit Awards for the first time.
