ITV 'pause' All Star Musical starring John Barrowman amid controversy

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.”
