Noel Clarke accuses John Barrowman of exposing himself on the set of 'Doctor Who' in a resurfaced video
- Noel Clarke and John Barrowman worked together on "Doctor Who."
- The video resurfaced after multiple allegations of sexual harassment were made against Clarke.
- Clarke has denied all allegations made against him.
Hours after The Guardian published an investigation that detailed allegations of sexual harassment against the British filmmaker Noel Clarke, a video resurfaced online in which Clarke accuses his former "Doctor Who" co-star, John Barrowman, of exposing himself on the set of the TV show.
In the video, Clarke can be seen at a promotional interview for "Doctor Who" alongside cast members Camille Coduri and Annette Badland. During the interview, they begin to discuss working on set when Clarke accuses Barrowman of repeatedly exposing himself.
"Barrowman is there, taking his d--- out every five minutes," Clarke said of Barrowman on set. He then proceeds to use a microphone as a prop to imitate Barrowman exposing himself to Coduri and Badland. Later, Clarke asks Coduri whether she remembers the time Barrowman exposed himself and "put it on your shoulder in the makeup truck?" to which she responds: "Yes, I do." Clarke then stands up and recreates this using his microphone.
At the end of the interview, the moderator asks the group how Barrowman was able to get away with his behavior and Clarke answers: "because he's a gay man."
Barrowman has had to apologize in the past for similar incidents. In 2008, he exposed himself during an interview on BBC Radio 1. Both Barrowman and the broadcaster issued official apologies. At the time, Barrowman told The Guardian: "I apologize for any offense I have caused. I was joining in the light-hearted and fun banter of the show and went too far. I was wrong to do this and it will never happen again."
Insider has reached out to Barrowman for comment.
Clarke, who is best known internationally for his performance on the long-running sci-fi show, was the subject of a Guardian investigation which described the accounts of 20 women who claim the actor sexually harassed them. He has strongly denied all allegations against him.
In a statement provided to the newspaper, he said: "If anyone who has worked with me has ever felt uncomfortable or disrespected, I sincerely apologize. I vehemently deny any sexual misconduct or wrongdoing and intend to defend myself against these false allegations."
Earlier today, British broadcaster Sky said it has halted production on the forthcoming series of the award-winning police show "Bulletproof," which was created by and also stars Clarke. It said: "Sky stands against all forms of sexual harassment and bullying and takes any allegations of this nature extremely seriously. Effective immediately, we have halted Noel Clarke's involvement in any future Sky productions."
Ashley Walters, the co-star of the show, said he was shocked by the allegations. In a statement, he said: "Whilst Noel has been a friend and colleague for several years, I cannot stand by and ignore these allegations."
Broadcaster ITV has also canceled plans to show the final episode of its Primetime drama "Viewpoint," which starred Clarke. And BAFTA has suspended the actor's membership along with the special Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award he was given at this year's virtual ceremony.
