Torchwood actor John Barrowman has apologised after exposing himself on a live BBC Radio 1 show.

Barrowman undid his trousers after being goaded into it by the presenters of the Switch programme on Radio 1 on Sunday night, prompting the corporation to issue an official apology.

Though only one complaint was received about the incident, a BBC spokeswoman said the show had “overstepped the mark”…

During Sunday’s show, presented by Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac, Grimshaw asked Barrowman: “You’re famous, we’re told for getting your willy out in interviews. Is this going to happen today?”

Barrowman responded by saying he was going to “get it out”, amid shouting and laughter.

He was later heard to say: “I didn’t take the whole thing out, but I got my fruit and nuts out.”

Cripes!

    Oh, the horror. *eye-roll*

    I’ve exposed myself while on the phone. Only a few people in the office complained. Most of them thought I’d brought my pet to work.

  3. Mr. Fusion says:

    I exposed myself while urinating a while ago. If someone was watching through the window I hope they aren’t embarrassed.

  4. Zybch says:

    You guys should check out Shark Attack III: Megalodon. I love John Barrowman, but that’s one movie he should have run like hell away from.

    He was the best thing to ever happen to Dr Who though.

    This story gives me the willies !!!

  6. Ah_Yea says:

    Thanks, Zybech. That was so awful I couldn’t even watch the whole trailer!

  7. Zybch says:

    You missed the best bits (at the end).

  8. Neumann says:

    This is not surprising.

  9. Neumann says:

    This is not surprising.

    Zybech: Why doeth everyone in that trailer have a lithp? Am I the only one who heard that?

    #8 – Neumann

    Hey! How come you’re number 8?? My reply to Z-Bitch used to be #8, and now it’s gone. Not even a “[Deleted – violation of posting guidelines Eds.]” or anything! Wtf? Tsk, tsk, tsk. No fair.

  11. Angel H. Wong says:

    I for one would like to see some of the editors in here exposing their naughty bits =3

  12. Hugh Ripper says:

    #10 How do you know they’re not moderating the posts with no pants on right now?

  13. Jonny Nexus says:

    If you read the article, you’ll see that it isn’t *quite* as stupid as it sounds. Yes, it was a radio show, but BBC radio shows are also broadcast over the web in both sound *and* vision from a webcam in the studio. In this case the webcam didn’t actually see anything (I think because one of the presenters put their hand over it) but I can see why people might say it was an inappropriate thing for him to do.

    We are exposed to much worse on TV, especially Disney movies, and Saturday morning loony toonz that hypnotize innocent children into worshiping and swallowing Captain Crunch.

  15. Li says:

    People are far too uptight about other people’s bodies. They must really think that there are toxic no-no zones that will blind you on sight.

    I can only imagine how they react to their first night with their husbands.

    “No, it’s medusa! Turn the light off!”

  16. Neumann says:

    Zybech: I think we must have just submitted at the same time (my first time didn’t go through, I THOUGHT), hence why “I’m not surprised” was in both my responses.
