Doctor Who star 'overstepped mark'

Doctor Who and Torchwood star John Barrowman apparently shocked readers of the TV show's family magazine after making a series of sexual comments.

TV bosses were forced to apologise after readers complained that the content, including calling co-star David Tenant 'sexy', was too explicit for the family magazine, reports the Sun.

The 39-year-old, who tied the knot in a civil partnership with his long-term boyfriend in December, apparently boasted about the size of his manhood.

John, who plays bisexual Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and spin-off series Torchwood, also talked about Torchwood director Ashley Way, saying: "He's a real hotty. I like him. He has a nice bum."

And he revealed he had fancied former co-star Christopher Eccleston and called current Doctor David Tenant 'sexy'.

Fan Robert Mitchell, from Brighton, told the paper: "The magazine is called Doctor Who magazine and not Gay Times."

Editor Clayton Hickman said: "We consider the magazine is for older readers, but some of this content may have overstepped the mark. Apologies."
