John Barrowman has defended ‘exposing himself’ in an interview with Good Morning Britain and said that ‘cancel culture’ has ‘gone too far’.
It all started when the actor appeared on the daytime TV show and opened about the incident that apparently happened on the Doctor Who set.
Chatting to the former Dancing On Ice judge, Richard Madeley asked: “A lot of people in this country would have assumed that your career was over when all the reports came out of this party trick that you used to do which was basically exposing yourself in front of colleagues, which you thought was very, very funny at the time.

“All of this came out and it would seem to many observers that it kind of sunk your career but here we are talking about brand new projects.
“How have you turned it around?”
Barrowman responded: “I think the public understand that it was tomfoolery and it was a joke and silliness and [it] wasn’t sexual harassment.
“You say it was my party trick but everybody who was there on set and part of the fun enjoyed and laughed at the silliness that went on, we had a great time.
“But, you know, there’s a red top tabloid [that] has decided that they’re obsessed with bullying me and keep continuing to regurgitate it and exaggerate what actually had happened.”

He continued: “Listen, I’m over it and I have moved on and I think everybody else has moved on, cancel culture has gone way too far.
“It was very upsetting, not only for me but for my family.”
After reports were made of what happened, Barrowman was axed from his role as a judge on ITV’s Dancing on Ice.
