John Barrowman was meant to reprise the role of Captain Jack Harkness in a pre-recorded piece for the UK live show Doctor Who: Time Fracture, which is due to go live later the month.
Actor Noel Clarke – who is accused of inappropriate behaviour towards 20 women – was today at the centre of further allegations he sexually harassed or touched others on BBC hit Doctor Who.
The broadcaster appeared to be broadsided by the new reports today and said it would investigate specific claims made but was shocked to hear of them.
Clarke, 45, is said to have told one costume assistant, who had long hair, working on series one of the rebooted sci-fi show he liked girls with long hair so he could hold onto it when in a specific sexual position.
Another female runner and driver on the show alleges Clarke touched her inappropriately and repeatedly asked her to go to his hotel for sex.
