This Morning's Dr Ranj says 'finally' as paedophile accusation retracted by brutal troll
Dr Ranj Singh was the target of a horrific troll last year after accusations were made against him before being retracted as troll admits they're "untrue".
This Morning star Dr Ranj has achieved a "small victory" after a brutal troll was forced to retract his paedophile accusation against him and made to apologise for his actions.
The troll in question took to X, formerly known as Twitter on Monday to issue a public apology which read: "In May and June 2023, I published various tweets alleging that Dr Ranj Singh was a paedophile or sympathises unjustifiably with paedophiles.
"I accept that these allegations were wholly untrue, and that I had no basis to make them. I sincerely apologise to Dr Singh for the harm and upset I have caused. I have made a donation to a charity of his choice, and paid his legal costs.
"I will not be commenting on this matter again, save for any response that I give in evidence (written or oral) before a court or tribunal in England and Wales." The ITV star shared the apology to his Instagram page for his 350k followers to see as he took to his caption to express his relief following the pain the troll has caused him.

He penned: "FINALLY! After a horrible process spanning almost a year, this individual has at last been held accountable and made to apologise and pay for his disgusting attacks.
"But I am not the only person he has targeted. There are so many others who have been caused unnecessary distress because of his unprofessional behaviour. No doubt more of his antics will be revealed at his GMC hearing later this year... and I'm hoping he will face the proper repercussions.
"But for now, I'm taking this as a small victory for decent people over online bullies and trolls. Oh... and a lovely little donation for @notaphaseorg. "
Dr Ranj's loyal followers rushed to the comments section to share their support for him following his big news.
One follower penned: "So sorry you had to go through this Ranj but pleased you stood your ground and held him accountable xx."
Another Instagram user said: "Terrible you had to go through this Ranj, but I'm so glad you held him accountable, thanks from all of us."

A fourth passionate person expressed: "We need more people to held to account like this and it's such a shame it doesn't happen often.
"People like him need to realise, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences of the things you say.
"Congratulations on getting a measure of justice and fingers crossed more people are inspired to hold people accountable!"
