John Barrowman has emerged for the first time after reports surfaced this weekend to suggest the TV star would not be returning to Dancing on Ice.
Recent claims came to light that John had exposed himself on the BBC’s set of Doctor Who, with many speculating that his ITV career was laying in the balance.
Sources had alleged that the broadcasting giant had taken accusations very seriously, given it’s a family fun show.
After the news made headway this weekend, John decided to address his Instagram following.
Sharing a video with fans from his Palm Springs home, the star, better known as Captain Jack Harkness on the futuristic programme, said: “Hi everybody it’s John here.

“I just want to say thank you very much to all of my fan family and everybody who has reached out with the countless messages of support over the last few weeks.
“It has meant such a great deal to me and has really touched me to know that people are supporting me and standing by me and sending their love and all their appreciation and kind words.”

He went on to wish his followers in the US a happy memorial day and his fans in the UK a happy Bank Holiday, before signing off: “Hopefully we will all be back together soon and I look forward to it.
“Much love and thank you.”
In spite of claims that John has been dropped from the iceskating show, an ITV spokesperson told Daily Star: “Any discussions regarding the 2022 series of Dancing On Ice are very premature.”

An insider told The Sun at the weekend: “Ever since allegations against John came to light, discussions have been ongoing over his future on the panel of Dancing On Ice.
“But the feeling now is there is no way we can invite him back. ITV has shown they are prepared to act decisively when stars are accused of inappropriate behaviour.
“And it seems this situation will not be the exception to the rule.”
After on-set flashing allegations had surfaced, John immediately issued apologies for his “high-spirited behaviour and tomfoolery”.
