TV doc who appeared on BBC’s Morning Live and This Morning probed over sexual misconduct
A COSMETIC doctor who appeared on This Morning and the BBC's Morning Live is being probed by the GMC over alleged sexual misconduct.
Dr Tijion Esho has been ordered to work under special conditions, and must be shadowed by a chaperone when he is with female patients.
The multi-millionaire star, 40, is being investigated after a complaint was filed with watchdog the General Medical Council (GMC).
Temporary conditions have been placed on his licence to practise.
The dad of two, who boasts his own E4 show Body Fixers and a host of celeb clients, is understood to deny any wrongdoing.
This Morning fans had been glued to his regular slots alongside hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

But he has not been seen on the show since August 2019.
The probe comes with the show mired in the Phil and Holly queue-jumping row at the Queen’s Lying-in-State.
Dr Esho is still promoted on ITV’s website and has been a regular on the BBC, featuring on Morning Live alongside presenters Gethin Jones and Kym Marsh.
A GMC spokesman told The Sun last night: “Dr Oluwafemi Esho has restrictions on his practice while we investigate the allegations against him.

“We referred Dr Esho to an Interim Orders Tribunal at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in August 2022, who imposed a number of interim conditions on his practice.
“These include that, except in life-threatening emergencies, he must not carry out consultations with female patients without a chaperone present and except in life-threatening emergencies he must not make contact with patients outside a clinical setting, either virtually or face-to-face.”
In 2019 he starred alongside This Morning pair Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford to show off “tweakments” on women.
He injected filler into one patient’s nose to straighten it in a £750 treatment.
Another woman had her cheeks lifted in a £1,000 procedure in front of the cameras.
'Tweakments' on women
In 2019 Dr Esho supported TV’s Chloe Madeley after she moaned of a “puffy lip” from a lip filler.
He has starred in YouTube videos alongside Love Island pin-ups Zara McDermott and Ellie Brown.
Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison said of London-born Dr Esho: “He’s incredibly good at what he does and a nice fella.”
The expert has flogged his cosmetic brand on shopping channel QVC and calls himself The Lip Doctor on social media.
His clinics specialise in non-surgical treatments including Botox, cheek enhancement, brow lifts and lip boosters.
Dr Esho, who lives in the capital with his long-term partner, operates from clinics in Harley Street, Wimbledon, Newcastle and Dubai.
He boasts of having patients from 50 countries, with a waiting list of up to a year, and is looking to expand into Africa.

He must also update the GMC on his working diary as part of the interim instruction imposed by the watchdog.
