ITV undecided on John Barrowman's Dancing On Ice future

By Neil Wilkes, Editor-in-chief | 10 May 2021

ITV says it has not made a decision about John Barrowman's future on Dancing On Ice following recent allegations against him.

ITV has said it has yet to make a decision on whether John Barrowman will return as a judge for the next series of Dancing On Ice.

The actor and singer has been in the spotlight over the last week after he was accused of improper behaviour on the sets of Doctor Who and spinoff show Torchwood.

In allegations published in The Guardian as part of an exposé on former Who actor Noel Clarke, Barrowman is said to have exposed his penis multiple times on set during his time working on the shows more than 10 years ago.

Barrowman has since apologised for his actions, asserting that he was only being jovial, but nevertheless ITV has been under pressure to drop him from his role on Dancing On Ice.

Asked about the issue, a spokesperson for the broadcaster told the Radio Times: "Dancing On Ice is not in production at present as such on screen talent won't be attached for the forthcoming series until closer to the time."

The long-running show is due to return to ITV in January.
