Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh has been criticised by viewers after wearing an ‘unprofessional’ purple dress that showed ‘cleavage more appropriate for a night out’.
Ranvir, 44, was presenting the news segment about the Ukraine crisis when audiences at home became distracted by her outfit choice.
The British GMB star donned a plunging V-neck frock, featuring a black belt to cinch the ensemble at the waist and showcase her svelte figure.
Yet the stylish outfit was lambasted by some viewers, who claimed it was ‘disrespectful’ to show her ‘cleavage’ when reporting on Ukraine on Tuesday.
It’s not the first time Ranvir has been called out by fans over her plunging attire, with a previous outfit of the presenter’s being called ‘inappropriate’ in November 2019.

One person wrote on Twitter: ‘Is it really necessary for Ranvir to have her chest on display this morning?’
Another said: ‘Exactly! Totally unprofessional! Ffs another TV presenter where it’s ‘all about me!”
A third added: ‘Ranvir reading the horrific news from Ukraine whilst showing a cleavage more fitting for a night out. Not very professional considering the gravitas of current events.’
A fourth wrote: ‘Ranvir and her cleavage FFS show some respect.’
However, some viewers were outraged by the comments regarding Ranvir’s elegant ensemble.

Defending the presenter, one person said on Twitter: ‘For goodness sake, get a grip and leave the woman alone. There’s nothing wrong with the way Ranvir was dressed.’
The comments came after it was reported earlier this month that Ranvir has stepped down from her role as GMB political editor, amid claims she wants a more ‘substantial’ role on the hit ITV show.
The Sun claims ITV bosses are ‘clamouring’ to give Strictly star Ranvir a bigger role on the daytime programme – as she juggles an array of TV projects and her own increased success.
Ranvir became GMB’s political editor in January 2017, and has quickly gained universal acclaim, but quit in December last year, after reportedly tiring of ‘cold mornings standing on the doorstep of Number 10’.

A source said: ‘Ranvir is ready for a new challenge at Good Morning Britain and she wants a bigger role within the team.
‘She quietly stepped down as the political editor of the show in anticipation of having a more substantial part to play.
‘Ranvir covers for Susanna Reid when she is away and this week has stepped into her shoes during half term. But she wants more and the bosses at GMB are clamouring to give it to her.’
The source added that ‘keeping Ranvir on board is something everyone wants’ but the ‘job and pay will have to be right.’

A source added to MailOnline: ‘Ranvir isn’t doing the political role any longer, she finished that role in December and instead is one of the show’s main presenters.’
Mailonline has contacted representatives for ITV and Ranvir Singh for comment.
Ranvir gained an army of new fans when she appeared on the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing, reaching the semi-final.
She has branched out with guest spots on Lorraine and Loose Women, and will front a new gameshow on ITV called Riddiculous.
