John Barrowman has pulled out of his panto commitments (Picture: ITV\/Shutterstock)John Barrowman has pulled out of starring in a pantomime this Christmas.
\nThe Torchwood star was set perform as the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Bristol Hippodrome this Christmas.
\nReps for John explained that he has quit the show due to the dates clashing with his rescheduled tour.
\nThey told Metro.co.uk: \u2018John\u2019s concert tour has been rescheduled owing to the knock-on effect of lockdowns.
\n\u2018This means he has sadly had to withdraw from pantomime commitments this year.\u00a0His tour will be announced later this month.\u2019
\nThe move comes after the 54-year-old addressed allegations about his behaviour on the set of Torchwood after two former runners came forward claiming he would \u2018get his genitals out on a regular basis\u2019.
\nJohn told The Guardian that his behaviour was \u2018only ever intended in good humour to entertain colleagues on set and backstage\u2019.<\/p>\n
John was due to play the Wicked Queen (Picture: johnbarrowman.com)\u2018With the benefit of hindsight, I understand that upset may have been caused by my exuberant behaviour and I have apologised for this previously,\u2019 the Captain Jack Harkness actor added.
\n\u2018Since my apology in November 2008, my understanding and behaviour have also changed.\u2019<\/p>\n

In days following his statement, John was inactive on social media but has since returned to thank fans for their support.
\n\u2018I 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,\u2019 he said.

\u2018It 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.
\n\u2018Hopefully, we will all be together sometime soon and I look forward to it. Much love and thank you.\u2019
