The BBC has apologised after a live radio show during which John Barrowman exposed himself "overstepped the mark".

Barrowman, who engaged in banter about his "flashing" on Radio 1's Switch show on Sunday, also issued an apology.

On the show, presenter Nick Grimshaw said to the Doctor Who and Torchwood star: "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."

Presenter Annie Mac apologised on air at the end of the programme for any offence that may have been caused. And the BBC emphasised that nothing untoward was screened online.

A BBC spokeswoman confirmed that one complaint had been received and said: "We do feel that the programme overstepped the mark.

"We acknowledge this and apologised at the end of the live programme."

The incident follows in the wake of the investigation into the prank phone calls made to Andrew Sachs by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand, for Brand's Radio 2 show.

Barrowman admitted the "light-hearted" banter on the show went too far.

He said: "I apologise for any offence I have caused.

"I was wrong to do this and it will never happen again. I really appreciate the great support I have received from the BBC over the last few years and would never intentionally do anything to undermine the integrity of the corporation.

I literally don't understand how this was offensive.

You mean he's more talented and richer than you, so you hate him. Jealousy is an ugly emotion.

Ross says suspension is "fun"

Jonathan Ross has been accused of boasting about enjoying his three month suspension from the BBC and calling it "fun" on his blog.

On one post he said: "Smoking a Cohiba and watching Sex And The City season six. Suspension is fun."

Tory MP Philip Davies, who is on Parliament's media select committee, called for the BBC to make the presenter's suspension permanent.

Benj wrote:Of course not, but he must realise by saying that it will only help to flare things up again, it's a dumb and unnecessary thing to say. It also suggests that he's not really very sorry at all about the whole thing, which would be fine if he hadn't apologised and sent flowers as if he were. x
