Strictly Come Dancing’s Doctor Ranj Singh mistakenly turned up to his NHS shift a whopping TWO MONTHS early
Most people worry about turning up to work too late.
But Dr Ranj Singh’s weakness is turning up to work too early, as he admitted that he accidentally rocked up to work two months too soon at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London on Sunday.
The Strictly Come Dancing contestant, 41, revealed that he arrived at work to cover his colleague’s NHS shift, unaware that he had mixed up the dates by eight weeks.
Blunder: Dr Ranj Singh admitted to fans on social media that he confused the date for his NHS shift at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London and accidentally turned up two months early
In a social media post, the NHS doctor made light of the fact that he turned up on the wrong date and blamed the current lockdown circumstances for playing havoc with his mind.
He wrote in a Tweet: ‘Guess which idiot turned up to work for his shift this morning… 2 months early #lockdownbrain.
‘An explanation: colleague asked me to swap into his shift for the 19th… I thought he meant July. Turns out he meant September.’

When he’s not rocking up to work two months too soon, Dr Ranj is dispelling any myths about mask-wearing.
He has encouraged others to wear face coverings when out in public and clarified that there is ‘no evidence6’ to suggest wearing a mask is bad for your health.
The doctor said via the Mirror: ‘Unless you have a medical reason not to, or cannot manage them, they should be worn where recommended. Small children are also exempt.
‘There is NO evidence that masks/face coverings are bad for you. This is nonsense.
Multi-talented: Ranj is a man of many talents as he appeared on the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 and was the sixth contestant to be eliminated
‘If I can wear one of these for 12 hours on shift and be absolutely fine, then you can wear a face covering on public transport and to the shops!
‘Remember: masks are mainly about protecting each other!’
Dr Ranj frequently presents on TV to provide important medical advice, he even received a HIV test live on air to inspire others to get tested and show how ‘quick and easy’ it is.
He appeared on ITV program, This Morning, as he showed how it is simply a case of pricking your finger and collecting the blood in a vial.
