Yahoo News 'Strictly Come Dancing's Dr Ranj reveals he talked someone out of suicide
Strictly Come Dancing contestant Dr Ranj Singh has revealed that he talked someone out of suicide last night.
The TV doctor posted a message to Instagram saying that he was ‘one of those people who almost walked past someone in need’.
He also urged anyone finding themselves in the same situation to seek help.
“Tonight I met someone who was about to take their life… if anyone is feeling like they have reached crisis point, PLEASE speak to someone. There are so many people there to listen and help,” he captioned in the post.
“On my way home, I trusted my gut instinct and somehow managed to talk someone out of taking their life.
“I’m a trained doctor, but in that moment my medical skills were irrelevant. All I had was simple kindness and conversation. I have never been so terrified of what might have happened.
“I was about to walk past – I’m so glad I didn’t.”

Dr Ranj will make his first appearance on Strictly this coming weekend, having been paired with pro-dancer Janette Manrara.
