John Barrowman has responded to claims that he's on The Masked Singer, and he refused to deny that he's the Unicorn.

This comes after he was recently grilled on the rumours by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during an episode of Dancing On Ice, on which John is a judge.

Host Phillip said: "If last night's show is anything to go by it seems one of our judges is leading a secret life."

Holly then asked: "Right John Barrowman I’m only going to ask you this once. Are you or are you not moonlighting as a Kate Bush loving Unicorn?"

John said that he couldn't say if it was him, and Holly asked if she could borrow his outfit - to which he said: "You’d have to rip it out of my closet if i had it."
