In 2004 he appeared in the second series of the ITV weight loss show, Celebrity Fit Club, he replaced Freddie Starr as team captain, but was demoted 5 weeks later, the role was taken by James Whitaker. In 2006, he was exposed for indulging in lewd acts on a web cam AKA cyber sex, in a similar type of incident to the much more highly publicised scandal surrounding actor Leslie Grantham two years earlier, during which he slagged off fellow co-stars Zoe Lucker, Laila Rouass and others and claimed the only reason he was in Footballers wives was for the money.
John died from internal bleeding after breaking a collarbone after falling out of bed at his home in Worthing, West Sussex on 10th March 2017, aged 75 years.
