Fans of Dancing on Ice might soon see a fresh face on the judging panel, as rumours swirl that a popular Gogglebox star is being considered to replace John Barrowman.
Barrowman, who has been a fixture on the show for several seasons, is reportedly stepping back, leaving a coveted spot open for a new judge. And insiders suggest ITV is eyeing a fan-favourite from the hit sofa-based series to fill the role.
Who’s the Frontrunner?
While names haven’t been officially confirmed, sources claim one of Gogglebox’s most charismatic and quick-witted stars is in talks to join the Dancing on Ice panel. Known for their sharp commentary and infectious personality, this potential judge could bring a fresh dynamic to the ice-skating competition.
Why This Choice Makes Sense
The move would align with ITV’s strategy of blending established TV personalities with fresh talent. A Gogglebox star would bring relatability and humour to the show, appealing to both long-time viewers and new audiences.
Additionally, their experience in critiquing TV performances—albeit from the comfort of their sofa—could translate well into judging live skating routines.
What’s Next?
An official announcement is expected in the coming weeks as ITV finalises its lineup for the next season of Dancing on Ice. Fans will be eager to see if the rumours hold true and whether this Gogglebox favourite will indeed trade their living room for the rink.
