TV presenter Ranvir Singh has been awarded an honorary degree by Lancaster University.
The Preston-born star previously studied at the university achieving a degree in English Literature and Philosophy, before embarking on a career that has seen her front shows including Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and Eat, Shop, Save.
She also fronted her own ITV daytime quiz show, Riddiculous, which will be returning for a second series in early 2024.
In 2020 she showed off her dancing skills by reaching the semi-finals of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, and has also fronted shows such as All Around Britain with Alex Beresford, and presented ITV’s Real Stories, telling unique stories of people who have experienced life-changing events.
The doctorate award reads: "It is hereby certified that Ranvir Singh has been duly admitted to the Degree of Doctor of Letters Honoris Causa on this Thirteenth Day of December, Two Thousand and Twenty Three."
Also receiving a doctorate is Baroness Catherine Ashton, who served as the European Union's first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy between 2009 and 2014.
On behalf of the UN Security Council, she coordinated negotiations that resulted in the nuclear programme agreement with Iran.
Previously she was EU Commissioner for Trade, served as a Minister in the Departments of Education and Justice, and was Leader of the House of Lords and President of HM Queen's Privy Council.
This week, postgraduate graduation ceremonies have been taking place at Lancaster University ─ a proud moment for students, staff and families as they gather to celebrate success, with around 1,200 degrees being conferred.
