Uncertainty surrounds an ITV music show. Reports indicated that the channel has paused All Star Musical starring John Barrowman - and won't say if it will ever return.
According to several national newspaper reports, the show, which is described as an 'all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza' and sees celebrities perform iconic musical theatre favourites in front of a packed house, has been shelved.
The Sun newspaper reported Barrowman's show won't be back in 2023. According to Birmingham Live, the report quoted a TV insider as saying: “This will obviously be a blow for John, particularly as it was a job he relished keeping after he left Dancing On Ice. Barring any announcement of a secret, new TV venture, this represents his last role on a British TV show, which is a far cry from the days when he was on a variety of shows on various channels.”

All Star Musical has aired for the last four years. Star of the show, Barrowman, previously addressed his controversial antics on the set of Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood. According to The Guardian a number of people claim to have seen the actor exposing himself while he appeared on both Torchwood and Doctor Who.
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." John added that due to the nature of filming, everyone on set would have been aware days in advance that he would be recording a nude scene, and flashing his genital area was a way of making fun of any awkwardness.
He added: "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 were simply designed to defuse any potential awkwardness among the cast and crew."
John said: "The motivation for what I'd call my 'tomfoolery' was to maintain a jokey atmosphere. There was absolutely nothing sexual about my actions and nor have I ever been accused of that."
