The 38-year-old medic will be judged by Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli when he shimmies onto the dancefloor in the BBC One competition.
BBC bosses think he'll dazzle viewers and judges alike, with a source telling The Mirror: "He’s a housewives’ favourite on ITV daytime so he’s sure to have big support when he takes to the dancefloor.”
BBC One has remained tight lipped on the long-awaited line-up, but it's claimed former Pussy Cat Doll Ashley Roberts has also signed on the dotted line.
Other celebs rumoured to be sashaying their way into Strictly are Faye Tozer from Steps, Scarlett Moffatt, The Chase star Mark Labbett, Union J singer Josh Cuthbert, former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley and ex-England player Alex Scott.
Dr Ranj proved he's up for a challenge last year when he joined Britain’s most ballsy beefcakes and stripped off to promote body confidence in men.

And he still works in the NHS, focusing mainly on the wellbeing of youths and young adults.
But his work in the field also lends him to being a health correspondent and journalist for NetDoctor.
As well as his work in medicine, he has published two children's books and appeared on shows including Save Money: Good Health, and has become a children's presenter with the CBeebies series, Get Well Soon and also Bedtime Stories.
Dr Singh was previously married to a woman in his 20s but the pair divorced and soon after he began identifying as gay.
Admitting to Attitude magazine in 2015 that it was "something he was still working on", the star revealed he didn't feel comfortable coming out until later in his life.
