Pillar of strength: BBC's Doctor in the House, Rangan Chatterjee

DR RANGAN Chatterjee believes in walking the talk and so do his children. His seven-year-old son and five-year-old daughter literally follow in the footsteps of their dad, a GP from Manchester who is also the presenter of BBC’s Doctor in the House, writes Irene Feighan.

“Often at home before dinnertime, we will do something active together — whether it’s doing animal moves on the floor or 20 squats each in the kitchen or putting on music and dancing,” he says. “Just something to make movement fun and exciting and I get involved with them.”
