John Barrowman has been dropped as a judge on ITV hit show Dancing On Ice, the broadcaster had confirmed.

The actor who found fame in Doctor Who and spin-off show Torchwood has been a judge on the show since 2019.

Barrowman, 54, first appeared on the show as a contestant in 2006 where he was the fourth celebrity to be evicted.

The move comes following a sexual misconduct storm earlier this year in which Barrowman admitted exposing himself to colleagues on set.

The actor said he had taken part in “tomfoolery” on the sets of BBC shows Doctor Who and Torchwood.

Barrowman will still appear on upcoming special episodes of ITV show All Star Musicals.

A spokeswoman for ITV said: “We thank John Barrowman for two brilliant years on the Dancing On Ice panel and are pleased to be working with him again as host of the forthcoming All Star Musicals specials.”
