John Barrowman has been formally fired from his position as a judge on ITV’s Dancing on Ice after flash allegations.

The 54-year-old actress has appeared as a judge on the celebrity skate competition since 2019.

The news comes five months after the Scottish-born American actor admitted to “tomfoolery” on the set of Doctor Who, following allegations that he would be showing his penis to other cast members.

“We thank John Barrowman for two amazing years at the Ice Dancing Board,” an ITV spokeswoman said in a statement, adding that the TV personality will still appear on upcoming special episodes of ITV’s All Star Musicals. .

“[We] We are excited to be working with him again as host of upcoming All Star music specials.”

The Independent has contacted a Barrowman representative for comment.

In April 2021, a 2015 video was unearthed from the Doctor Who conference, in which actor Noel Clark claimed Barrowman would reveal himself on the show’s set and take his “life every five minutes”.

Shortly after the allegations, the TV presenter told The Guardian that he took part in “tomfoolery” while working on Doctor Who and his band Torchwood and that he had evolved in the ensuing years.

The actor said his “lively demeanor” was “intended out of humor only to entertain his colleagues on set and backstage.” “With the benefit of hindsight, I understand that the discomfort may be due to my profuse behavior and I have apologized for this earlier,” he added.

In 2008, Barrowman apologized after he took off his pants during an interview with BBC Radio 1, saying that he joined in “light and fun banter on the show” but that he “gone too far”.

In his new statement, he reiterated his position, saying, “Since my apology in November 2008, my understanding and behavior have also changed.”

Julie Gardner, executive producer on Doctor Who and Torchwood, also confirmed to The Guardian that she received a complaint about Barrowman’s specific behavior “around 2008”.
