The BBC has pledged to investigate any allegations of misconduct on the set of Doctor Who made to them following accusations against former stars Noel Clarke and John Barrowman.
ITV bosses are facing calls to sack John Barrowman from Dancing on Ice amid claims he repeatedly exposed himself on the set of
Torchwood and
Doctor Who.
Alec Shelbrooke, Conservative MP for Elmet and Rothwell in West Yorkshire, is pressuring ITV to take further action in the wake of clams against John Barrowman.
The actor, 54, admitted to “tomfoolery” following a resurfaced video in which his
Doctor Who co-star Noel Clarke recalled how the star would “take his d k out every five seconds” and slap it on his colleagues.
Shortly afterwards two former runners confirmed to
The Guardian that Barrowman would “get his genitals out on a regular basis”, but stressed that it was not sexually predatory behaviour, like that which Clarke has been accused of. Clarke denies allegations he sexually harassed and bullied more than 20 women.
The Guardian: “Sometimes he’d call me into his dressing room, and I would knock on the door and he’d say, ‘Oh, look at this,’ and he’d just have his willy out, standing in the doorway. It was kind of accepted that it was his thing.”
When he was contacted by The Guardian, Barrowman admitted to “‘tomfoolery’ that he now understood upset colleagues, but stressed it was never intended or interpreted as sexual in nature.”
“With the benefit of hindsight,” Barrowman clarified, “I understand that upset may have been caused by my exuberant behavior and I have apologized for this previously. Since my apology in November 2008, my understanding and behavior have also changed.”

John Barrowman Apologises For ‘Tomfoolery’ On Doctor Who Set Following Claims He Exposed Himself I understand that upset may have been caused by my exuberant behaviour.
John Barrowman has apologised following allegations that he repeatedly exposed himself on the sets of Doctor Who and Torchwood.
In an article published by The Guardian, which includes new sexual harassment allegations against his former co-star Noel Clarke on Doctor Who, two women alleged that the actor – who plays Captain Jack Harkness – exposed himself “on a regular basis” behind the scenes during the show’s earlier years.
Numerous witnesses described the incidents to the newspaper as “inappropriate pranks”.
