Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner predicts ‘toxic’ ITV will ‘destroy itself’
ok.co.ukEx-Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner is the latest star to have made claims about a "toxic" atmosphere at ITV, predicting that the broadcaster will "destroy itself".
Jason, 51, was one of the original judges on Dancing on Ice when it launched in 2006 and became known as the ITV contest's Mr Nasty, but quit in 2019 after an on-air row with Gemma Collins who claimed he had been selling stories about her.The former TV judge has denied Gemma's claims and has now told The Sun on Sunday that he feels there is still a toxic culture at ITV even after the Phillip Schofield scandal.
He said: "The fish rots from the head . . . there’s a lot of toxic people still in control." Jason also accused the broadcaster of hypocrisy over its mental health campaigns, calling them "bulls**t" and claiming that no one had cared about his own mental health.Talking about his exit from Dancing on Ice, Jason added: "The thing that is so distasteful to me is that I worked hard for them, I gave them great shows, and I know that I helped make that show a success. "I believe this toxic culture will destroy itself.This is opening Pandora’s box, and rightly so." Phillip, who also hosted Dancing on Ice with Holly Willoughby, quit This Morning after 21 years in May and has admitted to an affair with a much younger member of production staff.
Other former This Morning stars and contributors, including Eamonn Holmes and Dr Ranj, have spoken out about the "toxic" environment they claimed they had experienced there.
