Dr Ranj, who appeared on ITV's This Morning and Lorraine shows, sued Cartland, 42, last year.
He reported him to the General Medical Council over further online abuse.
Strictly star Dr Ranj, 46, told a panel: 'I suffer anxiety due to abhorrent things Dr Cartland said about me. This has been a horrific experience.'
Cartland, of Redditch, Worcs, claimed that X was a place for 'rigorous debate'.
He apologised and admitted: 'I have reacted unwisely online.'
He was struck off over fears he 'would behave in a similar way in future'.
Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service chairman Claire Lindley said: ''The Tribunal was concerned about the persistent, threatening and abusive harassment of four separate complaints, over a sustained period of time. Dr Cartland has not shown any recognition of the extent of the impact and his conduct demonstrates a blatant disregard for good medical practise.
'Given the marked lack of insight and remediation, the Tribunal was concerned that Dr Cartland would behave in a similar way in future. ''
Dr. Ranj Singh took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, making it to week 7 before being eliminated.
He qualified as a doctor in 2003 and works as a children's doctor.

Slump in Gino D'Acampo's wealth since being axed by ITV revealed as shamed chef plots new life abroad
GINO D'Acampo's earnings have dropped by over £150,000 after he was axed by ITV. The channel cut ties with him in February after allegations of inappropriate behaviour. 4 New documents filed at Companies House show net assets of £195,999 for the financial year ending in April, compared to £352,534 in 2024. The shamed chef faced a considerable loss in earnings, with cash intake of £199k - down from £704k the year before. It comes after The Sun told how the former This Morning telly cook is relaunching his brand in Australia amid his UK woes. The Italian, 48, is launching 'multiple work projects', including two new restaurants and a culinary tech platform, 11,000 miles from his Hertfordshire mansion, which is now on the market for £4.2million. Last week Gino's representative said: 'He loves Australia a lot - the people, culture, cleanliness and environment.' While Gino will keep a base in the UK, he will be spending increasing amounts of time Down Under over the next two years as he also sets up a new cookware range for the international market. A source added: 'Gino has had a fantastic career over here - and still has an incredibly loyal fanbase. 'But it's been made clear to him that TV opportunities over here are few and far between in the wake of recent allegations, and that's frustrating. 'While Gino has always denied any wrongdoing, he's a pragmatist and knows it's time for new adventures. 'He's been inundated with offers Down Under following a really successful tour there. Gino D'Acampo slammed for 'highly inappropriate' cooking video as fans say 'that's disturbing and upsetting' 'He spent some time in Australia a few years ago, and loved it. He still has a large social media following and plans to capitalise on that in the next stage of his career.' The source said the star will be launching two new restaurants in Australia and will split his time between there and the UK for the next two years. His wife of 22 years, Jessica, and their three children will remain in Britain. The source added: 'But if all goes well, Australia is a full-time option.' 4 4

Olivia Attwood hits back at cruel backlash over new This Morning summer gig after fans threatened they will 'stop watching'
Olivia Attwood has hit back at backlash over her upcoming gig on This Morning after cruel trolls insisted it 'wouldn't work'. The former Love Island star, 34, who is a regular Loose Women panellist, is joining the This Morning team as a summer host in the coming weeks. While she's built a successful career fronting multiple ITV documentaries and reality shows, the news of Olivia's new slot didn't go down a hit with some fans. Traditionalists went as far as threatening they'll 'definitely stop watching' if Olivia joins the morning show. But ITV's golden girl Olivia has assured she is determined to succeed in the new gig and prove the haters wrong. She exclusively told The Sun: 'Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. 'I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa. 'It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me.' Other stars who are fronting This Morning this summer include Sian Welby, Dermot O'Leary, Emma Willis, Josie Gibson, Rochelle Humes, Joel Dommett, Craig Doyle, and Andi Peters. Recently Olivia hit out at the 'stigma' of being the partner of a successful sportsman, insisting she funds her own lavish lifestyle and has worked 'relentlessly' since being catapulted to fame when she left the Love Island villa in 2017. She became a bona fide WAG when she tied the knot with footballer Bradley Dack in a lavish central London ceremony in the summer of 2023. The TV personality dated Bradley, 31, prior to entering the ITV reality show and he was already a footballer playing for League Two team Gillingham FC. Olivia slammed 'gold digger' claims and said it doesn't matter what job her husband has because she works 'seven days a week'. She told MailOnline: 'I think people are like, "She works seven days a week, surely she's got some f*****g cash". 'Maybe in the beginning when Brad and I first started dating, there was a bit of a stigma around it [dating someone who plays sport for a living]. 'And people can kind of go, "Oh", a bit of an eye roll and stupid comments like, "Oh my gosh she's with him cos he plays football". 'I've got my own money, so it doesn't really matter what he does for a job.' Straight-talking Olivia shot to fame thanks to her stint in the Love Island villa in the summer of 2017, which saw her reach the show final with her ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes, 32, who she dated until February 2018. The former grid girl has since become a household name and a regular face on TV, appearing on The Only Way Is Essex, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, This Morning and Loose Women. Olivia has also fronted many of her own shows and presented Bad Boyfriends, Getting Filthy Rich and The Price Of Perfection - admitting she has 'bitten the hands off' TV executives for 'big jobs, little jobs, whatever I could get'. But this success did not come overnight and she told how she 'grafted' when she left the villa while working relentlessly to get where she is today. Olivia told MailOnline: 'Post Love Island, I knew where I wanted to be. I knew I wanted to stay working in television, and I was very dedicated to that, and everything I've done is working towards that bigger goal. 'I've been very patient and I've learnt the craft, I'm still learning, I've taken the big jobs, the little jobs, whatever I could get, I just bite their hand off for it.' 'Relentlessly pursuing that bigger goal and I'm working really hard at it, it doesn't come overnight', she added. 'Even when you get a big platform like Love Island, you still need to prove yourself to people. 'I think sometimes people become impatient off the back of reality shows, but these kind of things, they don't happen overnight, you have to stick with it. It takes graft.' Olivia has enjoyed the spoils of a lavish lifestyle thanks to her lucrative television career and is regularly seen toting around Chanel and Hermes handbags. She has also enjoyed many luxurious trips throughout the years - in the last nine weeks she has been seen in France, Miami and Ibiza. In her popular TV documentary, Price Of Perfection, Olivia was very candid about her own cosmetic tweakments and confessed she spends a 'couple of grand a month' maintaining her image.

John Torode: The Australian-born chef who has spent 20 years on MasterChef
The programme, which tests amateur chefs on their culinary skills, was originally called MasterChef Goes Large when the duo began presenting it in 2005, after they met in the 1990s when Wallace, greengrocer to London's top restaurants for more than 20 years, began supplying Torode's businesses. The 59-year-old, who was born in Sydney, Australia in 1965, was a resident chef on This Morning, appearing alongside Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, before he achieved widespread fame with Wallace on the revamped version of the show. Alongside Wallace, Torode also presented spin-off show Celebrity MasterChef and co-hosted an episode of the satirical BBC quiz Have I Got News For You in 2011. The duo's version of the show was a revamped edition of the original 1990-2001 series, which was hosted by Loyd Grossman. Also in 2011, a viral mash-up in which clips of Torode and Wallace were spliced together to create a two-minute auto-tuned song about cheesecake raked in more than 11 million views on YouTube, and subsequently peaked at number 37 in the UK singles chart. Across the years there have been rumours that the two men did not get along off-screen, although Wallace previously said they are friendly. Speaking about a dinner he had with Torode, Wallace told the PA news agency in 2012: 'We drank some very good red wine and we finished with a couple of brandies. We talked about love, life, weight loss, hair loss – I'm very fond of John.' In 2022, Torode was made an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours, for his services to food and charity. Speaking on the day he was honoured, Torode said: 'I feel very privileged, it's a real honour and I feel great about it.' Before allegations of misconduct against Wallace emerged, the two celebrated the show's 20th anniversary with a dinner at Fishmongers' Hall in London, during the show's semi-finals week, and welcomed more then 70 guests who had been connected with the show over the last two decades. After allegations emerged, Torode confirmed in December last year he would continue to host MasterChef, saying he 'loves being part of' the programme. On Monday, Torode confirmed he had a standalone allegation of racist language upheld in the same report that found a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations of misconduct made against Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated. Torode said had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation in an Instagram post. After the allegation came to light, MasterChef producer Banijay UK and the BBC announced that his contract will not be renewed. A Banijay spokesperson said: 'In response to John Torode's statement, it is important to stress that Banijay UK takes this matter incredibly seriously. 'The legal team at Lewis Silkin that investigated the allegations relating to Gregg Wallace also substantiated an accusation of highly offensive racist language against John Torode which occurred in 2018. 'This matter has been formally discussed with John Torode by Banijay UK, and whilst we note that John says he does not recall the incident, Lewis Silkin have upheld the very serious complaint. Banijay UK and the BBC are agreed that we will not renew his contract on MasterChef.' As well as his on screen work, Torode has written a series of cookbooks, including Sydney To Seoul, My Kind Of Food and John And Lisa's Kitchen with his wife Lisa Faulkner, and is the former owner of the Luxe and Smiths Of Smithfield restaurants in London. Torode has four children, and married actress and Celebrity MasterChef winner Faulkner in 2019.
