TV symbols The Krankies spend time in the US with former Dancing on Ice judge John Barrowman, and they seem nearly unrecognizable from their well-known stage personalities from the 1980s.
During a day out with John Barrowman, the famed comedians Janette and Ian Tough—who were best known for playing schoolboy rogue Wee Jimmy Krankie and father figure Ian Krankie—displayed an incredibly different appearance.
Janette, known for her trademark ginger hair, appeared remarkably different from her usual appearance, clad in a dark brown bob with a fringe and a vibrant turquoise top. Ian, meanwhile, had a tan skin and white hair.
On his Instagram stories, John Barrowman posted a funny video of them traveling by automobile and making lighthearted remarks about what it was like to be “going up a mountain” with the Krankies.

John made fun of the group in the video, calling them “three s****y bums,” and he mocked Janette about her anxiety throughout the journey in the mountains. After being married in 1969, the couple became well-known in the 1970s for their comedic partnership and went on to have a prosperous career in pantomime, TV, and music.
