"Jason Gardiner has apologised for a comment he made on a recent episode of Dancing on Ice. The TV show judge compared Shayne Ward&amp;#039;s performance to somebody suffering from locked-in syndrome, a condition that leaves people paralysed except for their eye muscles.  He said: &amp;quot;It started well for me and I thought you were in your stride but it kind of ended up livin&amp;#039; la vida locked-in syndrome because you were throwing everything away.&amp;quot; Ofcom has received 24 official complaints about Gardiner&amp;#039;s remark on Sunday night (January 27), reports The Sun. Jason Gardiner initially defended his comments, tweeting: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s good to bring taboo topics into the open.&amp;quot; However, he later said sorry for his remark, saying: &amp;quot;I sincerely apologise for any offence caused. That was never my intention.&amp;quot;   &amp;gt; Jason Gardiner: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ve got a fantastic personality and a big d*ck too!&amp;#039; Viewers also took to Twitter to ask ITV to remove Gardiner from the show. One user wrote: &amp;quot;Jason Gardiner is disgusting and should be sacked&amp;quot;, while others described it as &amp;quot;sickening&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;deeply upsetting&amp;quot;. Anthea Turner - who was voted out of the show on Sunday - said: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s the worst. I don&amp;#039;t think he thought that one through.&amp;quot; Dancing on Ice continues next Sunday (February 3) on ITV.
