John Barrowman will not return to his judging role on Dancing On Ice for a third year, ITV have confirmed - five months after he apologised for exposing himself on the set of other shows in historic incidents.
The entertainer, 54, who joined the show last year, previously admitted to 'tomfoolery' on the sets of Doctor Who, where he began playing Captain Jack Harkness in 2005 and adult spin-off series Torchwood a year later.
A source told The Sun: 'This will be devastating for him. Clearly ITV feel it’s not a good look to have someone like John centre-stage on a family-friendly show.'

In an interview with Weekend magazine, John said his behaviour on set was to 'defuse awkwardness' whenever he was filming a sex scene in Torchwood.
He said: 'As Captain Jack Harkness I was the star of Torchwood, so I felt it was down to me to lead the company and keep them entertained. When I was doing a nude scene or a love scene it was clear in the script I'd be naked and everyone would have known about that at least 48 hours in advance.
'So I'd be waiting in my trailer wearing just a robe with a sock over my "parts". Then, if I were standing waiting to film a scene where I needed to be nude and someone came into view, I'd make a joke to put them and myself at ease. My actions
