JOHN Barrowman has pulled out of a six-figure pantomime gig amid claims of inappropriate behaviour on TV set.
The Daily Star reports the 54-year-old was due to perform as The Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Bristol Hippodrome this Christmas.
But he’s pulled out – with his rep saying the show clashes with his UK tour.
A spokesperson told the Daily Star Sunday: “John’s concert tour has been rescheduled, owing to the knock-on effect of lockdowns.
“This means he has sadly had to withdraw from pantomime commitments this year. His tour will be announced later this month.”
The actor was axed from Dancing on Ice after facing allegations that he repeatedly exposed himself on the sets of BBC’s Doctor Who and spin-off Torchwood.
John apologised and said it was “high-spirited behaviour and tomfoolery”.
This week he shared a video message with his fans on his Instagram thanking them for their support.
He also joked about turning to booze amid the recent backlash as he made fresh lemonade and vodka drinks with his husband Scott.

Speaking from his home in Palm Springs, USA, John said: “Hi everybody it’s John here and I just want to say thank you very much to all of my fan family and everybody who has reached out with the countless messages of support over the last few weeks.
“It 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 and all their appreciation and kind words.”
