I only know he was a judge on the Popstars UK season that created Hear'Say and actually had the audacity to tell Kym Marsh how "disappointed" he was that she didn't tell them she had two kids lol.

Oh, he also then explicitly fat shamed her on the program for having put on some weight over Christmas. She was a perfectly slim woman, she just wasn't a skinny shape. If she had in fact put any weight on I sure as hell didn't notice.

Damn yes, I forgot about that! He's a prick.

bye loser

good, stay gone

I have a feeling there was a heads up on more allegations being dropped soon, only it was from SYTYCD alum and it wouldn't be a good look for him to continue on the show.

Considering the creepy comments he's made about contestants throughout the years, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.
