A TV insider said “The fact that Arlene is a mature woman with decades of experience in the dance world is seen as a huge asset for Dancing on Ice.”
The judging panel had a shake up when it was revealed Barrowman had been axed from the show.
ITV was under pressure to axe the judge when accusations of sexual harassment surfaced from his time on the set of Doctor Who.
He later admitted to exposing himself several times on set, but denied any sexual intent, dismissing the act as ‘tomfoolery’.

Radio presenter Sonny Jay Muharrem was crowned the 13th winner of the show when he came out on top in the 2021 series.
In the final, Olympian Colin Jackson was voted off in the first half, leaving Sonny Jay and actress Faye Brookes as the top two.
They then both went on to perform the iconic Bolero before the phone lines closed for good, and Phil and Holly announced Sonny has been victorious.
