Phillip Schofield savagely mocked John Barrowman's new hairstyle on tonight's Dancing On Ice.
The presenter jokingly lashed out at the fab-u-lous actor, who is joining the judging panel for the new series.
When John was introduced to the audience at the Christmas special, Holly Willoughby admitted her co-host "had competition" for the role of "silver fox" this year.
But Phillip wanted to assert himself as the best silver-haired TV personality - and claimed his new hair made him look like a "badger".
Phil replied: "I know. He's rocking it. He looks like a badger though."
Holly quickly added: "But a hot one."
Taking to Twitter , one Dancing On Ice viewer said: "John Barrowman so handsome with his grey hair. I really like him too"
Another added: "Why does John Barrowman look like Robert from Corrie?!"
A third said: "I just love John Barrowman"
Holly had introduced John onto the ice as "our brand new judge with a brand new hairstyle".
John admitted he was very excited to be joining the ice panel and would be bringing a lot of "showbiz".
He said: "What I bring is a lot of showbiz. I love ice skating. When you’ve actually done it, which I have, it changes everything as you know what they’re going through.
"I will have my skates on underneath the table every show...and you think I’m kidding."
Dancing On Ice viewers were a bit concerned about the amount of times John was saying his catchphrase.
One tweeted: "John barrowman was barely on tv for 30 seconds before saying fabulous send help"
"Santa will cancel Christmas for a child every time John Barrowman says "fabulous", "added another.
A third said: "It’s going to be a long few weeks with John on the panel"
*The Dancing On Ice Christmas special airs tonight on ITV at 7pm
