John Barrowman Will Replace Jason Gardiner as Judge on DANCING ON ICE

According to the Scottish Sun, John Barrowman will replace judge Jason Gardiner on Dancing on Ice.

John has experience with Dancing on Ice, as he competed in the first series of the show in 2006 and finished in seventh place. He has also judged West End talent shows.

John replaces Jason Gardiner, who ITV removed due to concerns about his conduct, including allegedly bullying reality star contestant Gemma Collins.
