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.

Noel Clarke is facing the prospect of a police investigation after seven more women came forward to accuse the Bafta star of a campaign of sexual harassment and bullying.
With 27 women now saying they were sexually harassed or groped by the celebrated actor and director, Scotland Yard has said it is assessing a specific allegation.
The Met Police confirmed that a third-party report was made on April 21 relating to allegations of sexual offences committed by a male over a period of time .
A third party report is when claims are made to an organisation separate from the police. This type of report is anonymous and means the claims cannot be probed by officers but can be used as intelligence.
