Dr Ranj: Strictly Come Dancing star turns his attentions to partner Janette Manrara’s BUM
DR RANJ SINGH has spoken of his jealously when it comes to a part of his Strictly Come Dancing 2018 partner Janette Manrara’s anatomy, in a clip from their latest training session.

Dr Ranj Singh commented on Janette Manrara’s bottom as they rehearsed their Paso Doble to Cancion del Mariachi by Los Lobos ahead of their Strictly Come Dancing performance tonight.
The This Morning favourite claimed the American dancer was “so lucky” as she put him through his paces.
The 39-year-old said he had “nothing to squeeze” unlike the pro, 34, just days after the pair failed to impress with last week’s routine.
Their last challenge saw them take on the Quickstep to Prince Ali from Aladdin as part of Movie Week.
I’ve got nothing to squeeze
Focusing on the latest task in hand, Dr Ranj told Janette: “You’re so lucky, because…” before being interrupted by his partner.
“So are you, you’re dancing with me,” she quipped, before he was seen breaking down into giggles.
“No,” he went on. “Because you have bum muscles. I don’t have bum muscles,” he said looking downcast.
She then offered him some sympathy before quickly trying to get things back on track in the studio clip shared on the show’s official Instagram page.
However, he went on: “No because I’ve got nothing to squeeze.”
No doubt the duo will be hoping to improve on their score of 20, which saw them come joint with Lauren Steadman and AJ Pritchard.
Now-eliminated Lee Ryan achieved the lowest score with 19, before bidding his farewell to the competition on Sunday.
Speaking earlier this week, Dr Ranj said the show was “hotting up” and everyone now felt the threat of going home.
“I certainly felt it, after week one,” he told this week’s Radio Times. “It really played on my mind that I had to do as well, if not better, in week two.
“Janette could tell something was up during training for our salsa. She’s developed an uncanny sixth sense for how I’m feeling.”
The majority of contestants train between Monday and Thursday and have to be “studio-ready by Friday”.

He went on: “So if, like me, you’re trying to fit rehearsals around another job (or jobs), it all gets a bit tricky.
“We contestants have become a support group, so losing Susannah [Constantine] was heartbreaking. She was the mum of the group (and gave the best hugs).”
It comes after all eyes have been on his rivals Seann Walsh and Katya Jones, after they were caught kissing last week.
They have since come out and apologised, and last night the Russian beauty claimed she and her husband Neil Jones were “fine”.
Strictly Come Dancing 2018 continues tonight at 6.40pm on BBC One.
