TV Dr Ranj in £22,500 big pharma row

BBC'S Morning Live's Dr Ranj has been caught up in a damaging row over his financial links to pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca.

The TV doctor was paid £22,500 by the company in 2021 for an advertising campaign.

But he failed to disclose this to show executives when he led a discussion on the safety of the AZ Covid vaccine last week.

BBC bosses are said to be "unhappy" he had not raised the information.

Internally, show executives have expressed their "sense of displeasure", as the Corporation has strict conflict of interest rules.
