Sulvinder Samra, the ex-wife of broadcaster and Strictly Come Dancing star Dr Ranj Singh, speaks publicly about their divorce, describing it as “painful” and “messy” after he disclosed that he is gay and wanted to date men. Multiple outlets report that their marriage, which lasted about seven years, ended around 2011. Samra says she questioned everything and writes that the period left her feeling ashamed and “dead inside,” describing emotional impacts following his coming out and the breakdown of the relationship. She also comments on the reaction she received after speaking for the first time, according to one report.
In the wider dispute, Daily Mail reports that Dr Ranj later reflected on the end of the marriage and that her comments prompted further exchanges. The reporting describes a conflict in which Samra portrays the divorce experience in stark personal terms, while Dr Ranj’s later statements have led to accusations from her that he is using her story. Belfast Telegraph also characterizes the split as involving a very painful time. None of the sources provide new documentary details about the divorce process, focusing instead on personal accounts.
