John Barrowman wants to know if Dancing on Ice will return

John Barrowman wants to know if \'Dancing on Ice\' will return.

The 53-year-old judge - who lives in America with his husband Scott Gill - is desperate for the ITV figure skating competition to return, and is eager to know when it will be back on TV, despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking on \'Lorraine\', John shared: "Nothing\'s been said officially to me.

"However, if it does come back I know I will be there. I would like to know myself because I have to plan ahead. "I\'ve got to plan flights, I\'ve got to make sure everything is OK here before I go back. But it is something we need."

John believes the show could give the nation a "lift" amid the pandemic, and he would be happy to film the programme without a studio audience.

He continued: "\'Dancing on Ice\' is such a great show.

"At the time of the year when everybody needs a bit of a lift anyway. This year, we\'re gonna need an even bigger lift ... if we have to do it this year without an audience, so be it.

"It\'s left up to myself, Ashley [Banjo], Chris [Dean] and Jane [Torvill], and Phillip [Schofield] and Holly [Willoughby] and everybody in the studio to bring that energy across to the audience at home. I think it will be a challenge, but we\'re up for it. So fingers crossed the show will be back."

The former \'Torchwood\' star also let slip he could be making a grand entrance on the show, as he\'s been planning to get back on the ice for some time.

He teased: "Maybe I\'ll get on the ice this year. I\'m gonna let you in on a secret, I\'ll probably get in trouble but you know what they gotta get me first. There was a discussion, we were gonna do it.

"However, we didn\'t have the time and couldn\'t get people\'s schedules together. I actually went on the rink with a couple of the pros to start working and doing stuff.

"I have my skates with me, and if you follow me on Instagram, you\'ll see I got my skates out to start getting some stuff going."
