John Barowman tuned into watch Sunday night's All Star Musicals, as viewers flocked to social media to complain about him being the show's presenter.
Former Doctor Who and Torchwood actor John left the judging panel of Dancing on Ice last year, after just two years on the ITV show. And, while bosses didn't give a reason for the move, his departure came right after allegations of 'inappropriate on-set behaviour' resurfaced online.
John was accused of 'exposing' himself to colleagues on the sets of Doctor Who and Torchwood and, those people watching at home who were aware of the allegations, questioned how he was allowed to present All Stars Musicals.

As soon as John appeared on screen at the start of the programme, to perform Grease classic We Go Together, viewers flocked to Twitter to air their grievances. Others didn't tune at all, citing him being host as the reason,
One blasted: "He won't ever be on my TV screen...slimy little creep!" A second reacted: "I didn’t watch it as John barrowman was presenting thought he was axed by itv."
Another posted: "Honestly ITV are usually so good at dealing with anything, but the decision to keep John Barrowman on is mind blowing." Speaking on Lorraine in November, John, who posted videos him watching All Star Msicals on his Instagram story, said the claims against him had been 'exaggerated.'
When asked if he thought he'd crossed the line, he told Lorraine Kelly: "I think if it was now, it would be crossing the line. I think that something that happened 15 years ago, it was body behaviour, silly behaviour, it was being done in the confines of the set and we were like a family, working together.
"The fact that it was stories I've already told, I've been telling them for years, I haven't hidden anything, they've been exaggerated and they've tried to turn them into sexual harassment which it absolutely is not."
