Dancing on Ice's John Barrowman hits back at complaints over 'changing' Scottish accent

John Barrowman has hit back at those complaining over his changing Scottish accent.

Appearing on Lorraine, the Dancing On Ice judge appeared to have a stronger Scottish accent.

Guessing what viewers would complain about during his interview, John said right off the bat: "I'm just saying right now everyone, in case you complain to Ofcom, I'm speaking Scottish!

"You always do when you talk to me," Lorraine laughed. "I bring it out in you!"

John, who was born in Glasgow but moved to Illinois when he was eight, demanded: "Just get over it! Just deal with it!"

As predicted, John's accent sparked a flurry of tweets as fans were left confused over his accent.

One tweeted: "Isn’t it funny how when @JohnBarrowman speaks Scottish his face changes too?! He does make me smile #lorraine."

A third wrote: "How did I never know Barrowman was Scottish #lorraine."

"#lorraine I'm confused. When did #JohnBarrowman become so Scottish? Is he actually Scottish then?" another commented.

One wrote: "@JohnBarrowman everyone needs to leave you alone about your Scottish accent! It’s funny, it’s a joke. Calm down #lorraine."

Another tweeted: "Since when has @JohnBarrowman been Scottish? #lorraine."
