Ranvir Singh has revealed that she secretly split from husband Ranjeet Singh Dehal when she was seven months pregnant 12 years ago.

It had been widely believed that the Good Morning Britain presenter, 46, only split from her spouse in 2020 before her stint on Strictly but she’s raised her child as a single mother.

Ranvir is currently dating Louis Church, who at 28-years-old is 18 years her junior, after meeting him when he worked behind-the-scenes during her stint on the BBC dance show.

The TV star, who shares one son Tushaan, 12, with her ex husband has now opened up about her past relationship for the first time.

Opening up on the White Wine Question Time with Kate Thornton podcast, she said: ‘I have actually been a single mum since I was 7 months pregnant. I’ve kept that so quiet but I am okay to talk about it now.

‘Now I’m at a point in my life where I think that I’m learning to embrace my whole life and to not compartmentalise it as much, to keep everything separate. And that’s a me thing.’

She added: ‘I’m happy to correct it today. Obviously my friends and family have known. It shows you can keep private whatever you choose to!’

Ranvir has recently taken the next step in her relationship with Louis after moving him in to live with her and her son.

The broadcaster has now given an insight into her routine at home.

She told The Telelegraph: ‘[At 5:30am] I try to talk myself back to sleep but it doesn’t always work. I get up, make a decaf tea and start chopping an onion for a dahl for lunch.

‘My partner Louis is terrible. He always hits snooze every ten minutes – it drives me mad!’

Before Louis moved in, Ranvir already lived with her then 10-year-old son and her mother.

The television star said she enjoys dressing down for weekend walks with Louis and her pet dog.

She added: ‘[At 11am] Quick shower and then out for a family dog walk with our cockerpoo, Shmizzels, in the Chiltern Hills.

‘At this time of year I live in my knee-high furry UGG boots – they’re my best investment! I’m make-up free at the weekend and don’t care what I look like.’

It comes after Ranvir has taken the next step in her relationship with her boyfriend Louis after moving him in to live with her and her son

Ranvir previously said people are too ‘obsessed’ with age gaps as she revealed she was ‘blissfully happy’ with her toyboy partner.

‘I knew Louis was special the minute he walked in… He has instinctively known exactly what I need… I don’t see an age gap,’ she told Woman & Home.

‘What really matters in any kind of relationship in life is a synchronicity of values and emotions. I don’t know why we’re so obsessed with the age gap.’

Ranvir continued: ‘As we are, right now, we are blissfully happy and Louis lives very much in the present.’

She said the pair ‘don’t bring undue pressure’ into their joy because ‘it’s not worth ruining the present by thinking about a wealth of different scenarios that might or might not happen’.

Ranvir and Louis first met when he worked as a production secretary on 2020’s Strictly, in which she competed with Giovanni Pernice.

The journalist confirmed her new romance in December 2021, gushing: ‘I’m really happy.’

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Ranvir and Louis have been dating for a few months and are totally in love, she has met his family and went to his aunt’s wedding with him last week.’

They added: ‘And it’s obvious Louis has taken a real shine to Tushaan.

‘They’ve kept their romance out of the spotlight but when Ranvir was invited to go to the music event at O2 she wanted to go with Louis and her son.

‘They both are clearly madly in love and were holding hands nearly all day. They have incredible chemistry.

‘Ranvir was beaming with happiness as she watched Louis and Tushaan together.’

The insider went on to say how Louis ‘looked really proud’ as Ranvir posed for photographs with fans and ‘seemed like a really happy family unit’.
