John Barrowman quits Cameo following allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ on Doctor Who set

John Barrowman has quit Cameo after allegations emerged regarding his behaviour on the set of Torchwood.

The 54-year-old previously apologised for exposing himself repeatedly on the set of the BBC drama, after two former runners came forward claiming he would ‘get his genitals out on a regular basis’.

He also insisted it was ‘tomfoolery’, stressing his actions were never intended to be sexual in nature.

Amid calls for the Captain Jack Harness actor to be axed from the judging panel of ITV’s Dancing On Ice, his page on Cameo – a service where fans can pay for personalised messages from a host of their favourite stars – has been put on pause.

Where fans were previously able to request a video from the star, for the price of £150, a message now says ‘Notify me when available’.

His profile is still visible on the site, with a bio reading: ‘John Barrowman is an Entertainer with a capital E. He sings, he dances, he acts, he presents, he judges.

‘He is a unique talent in the Entertainment Industry on both sides of the Atlantic.’

Barrowman typically responded to requests in seven days and boasted a five star score on the site, with more than 600 reviews.

The Doctor Who actor recently spoke out over the allegations, and told The Guardian that his behaviour was ‘only ever intended in good humour to entertain colleagues on set and backstage’.

‘With the benefit of hindsight, I understand that upset may have been caused by my exuberant behaviour and I have apologised for this previously,’ he added.

‘Since my apology in November 2008, my understanding and behaviour have also changed.’

Following the allegations coming to light, ITV has not disclosed whether he will be returning to the panel, but an insider claimed bosses are having ‘discussions’ on how to proceed.

A source told the Sun: ‘Ever since allegations against John came to light, discussions have been ongoing over his future on the panel of Dancing On Ice.

‘But the feeling now is there is no way we can invite him back. ITV has shown they are prepared to act decisively when stars are accused of inappropriate behaviour.

‘And it seems this situation will not be the exception to the rule.’

Barrowman recently shared a video on his Instagram page, thanking those around him for their support.

‘I just want to say thank you very much to all of my fan family and to everybody who has reached out with countless messages of support over the last few weeks,’ he added.

‘It has meant such a great deal to me and has really touched me to know that people are supporting me and standing by me and sending their love, appreciation and kind words.

‘Hopefully, we will all be together sometime soon and I look forward to it. Much love and thank you.’
