GMB star Ranvir Singh 'hypnotised' before biggest moment of TV career

Good Morning Britain host Ranvir Singh thanked a guest on the show on Tuesday, after she was "hypnotised".

Her co-host Susanna Reid brought up that the guest in question had helped Ranvir with her presenting, after a "trance CD" gave her the confidence to present a BBC news programme. Hypnotist Paul McKenna was on the ITV series on Tuesday, speaking to Susanna and co-host Ed Balls.

He offered his guidance and help to kick off 2024, with tips on how to achieve success in life. Susanna and Ed took part in an exercise, as Paul had them close their eyes and follow his steps to happiness and confidence.

Just before the interview though, Paul was thrilled as he was told by a GMB star that he had helped her many years ago. Ranvir explained that years earlier she had listened to his CD about gaining confidence, and it helped her to present a BBC news programme.

Susanna had told Paul: "We know that our Ranvir would not be here presenting if it was for you, Paul McKenna. What was it? A hypnotism trance CD?"

Ranvir then told the guest: "Yes it was back in the day when you had the CD in the back of your album to make you confident. And there was a rota mix up at BBC North West tonight because I was in regional TV, I was a reporter.

"And there was three presenters all off and I thought, 'This is my moment' because I really wanted to present the programme. And I listened to it for a month, every night your voice was counting backwards and all of that.

"And as I walked into the studio that day I just thought, 'I can do this, I can nail it'. And I just waltzed in and I got a round of applause from the crew and everyone. It was really weird but it really worked and I do thank you for that, I really do."

Paul was pleased with this and that his guidance and helped her. Applauding her, he said: "Thank you for telling me. I mean you are the person I wrote the book for."
