A telly source said: “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.”

The allegations came to light after the Noel Clarke scandal when a historic video of Clarke – who appeared in Doctor Who – resurfaced.

It showed Clarke joking about Barrowman’s supposed exposure.

So what has ITV said?

An ITV spokesman said: “Any discussions regarding the 2022 series of Dancing On Ice are very premature.”

Engagements for Dancing on Ice are not dealt with until much later in the year.

John’s agent went one step further though and flat-out denied reports he’s been axed.

They told ED!: “This is factually incorrect.

“As ITV has verified, no decision has been made.

“Engagements for Dancing on Ice are not dealt with until much later in the year.”
