Dancing On Ice champ James Jordan boasts he could take over sacked John Barrowman’s role as judge

JAMES Jordan has boasted that he would be the "perfect" person to take over from sacked Dancing On Ice judge John Barrowman.

The former Strictly professional, 43, won the 2019 series of the skating show and believes he would be the ideal replacement for John.

Last night, The Sun exclusively revealed that John has been officially axed from Dancing On Ice by ITV bosses.

It come after the 54-year-old star was accused of repeatedly exposing himself on the sets of other shows.  

Taking to Twitter after the news of broke, James liked a tweet displaying The Sun's front page story about John's sacking.

He also liked a tweet that stated: "We want @The_JamesJordan."

And when told by a fan he would be perfect for the job, James replied: "Very true!"

'SLEAZY BEHAVIOUR'

John, who found fame in Doctor Who and spin-off Torchwood, was on the Dancing On Ice panel for two years.

Earlier this year, the entertainer was accused of flashing at the cast on Doctor Who and its spin-off Torchwood.

Stories of his sleazy behaviour resurfaced in May when co-star Noel Clarke was alleged to have of sexually harassed and groped a string of women.

A 2015 video resurfaced showing Clarke claim Barrowman, 54, would expose himself “every five seconds.”

He was also said to have flashed in 2008 during a Radio 1 interview discussing his lewd pranks. He later apologised for going too far.

John - who came third in 2018’s I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! - went into therapy earlier this year.

He told fans: “They were different times, which is why I wouldn’t do now what I did then. I’ve acknowledged that by the way my behaviour has changed.

“I’ve always believed that the reason I was put on this planet was to bring joy to people, make them laugh. How I do that has evolved over the years.

“I’m still using humour, just in a different way than might have been the case ten or 20 years ago.”

The Sun approached John's rep for comment.

John has today blocked fans from seeing his Twitter profile unless they have been "approved". He has also deleted his profile picture.

A TV insider said: “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.”
