"We misunderstood, what's good for us." - a lyric from John Barrowman's latest single "What About Us?". Quite ironic really...
Not John Barrowman!
The star decides to expose himself to the two presenters (the somewhat taken aback Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac) during last Sunday's BBC Radio 1 "Switch" programme.
Oh boy.
The BBC - still recovering from the who-ha over Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross' comments regarding Andres Sachs' granddaughter - have been quick to apologise to offended listens... and viewers, who happened to catch the show via webcam on the BBC Radio 1 website.
Barrowman has also apologised for the cock up (boom boom!)
BBC News are running this story about the incident.
Barrowman was there to plug his latest album ("Music Music Music") and also his Gary Barlow penned single, "What About Us?". You could say he was there to promote his goods ;)
It's quite catchy, huh? "What About Us?" I mean...not whipping your penis out on national radio!

Are there pictures anywhere?
I think my friend put it best when she said (with affection) "Only John Barrowman could get in trouble for indecent exposure on the radio." I don't know enough about the whole thing to have a complete opinion but I think- dealing with only audio- it shouldn't have been so awful if the presenters felt it was appropriate material to bring up and ask him about. This was the first I'd heard about the webcam being a part of the broadcast, though. John has done so much for the BBC and worked so hard that I really hope such a silly little thing doesn't put any dents in his reputation.
Lets hope this thing doesn't get completely blown out of proportion like with Ross.
"viewers, who happened to catch the show via webcam on the BBC Radio 1 website" This is completely untrue as the webcam wasn't working at the time"!
So NOBODY SAW ANYTHING!. According to report on the BBC news site "The BBC has also apologised for the incident on Sunday's Switch show, which prompted one listener to complain... A spokeswoman also stressed that nothing untoward was screened online via the station's webcam"
He's so disgusting. Ugh.
I'm sorry but one, read that again ONE, listener complained. Big deal, it was probably one of those people that always look for something to complain about, they probably have quotas to meet or something.
The webcam was actually covered before John acted.
So only those in the studio were ever going to see anything !
Storm in a teacup. He was daft, he apologised, lets move on for heavens sake !!!
I don't get how he could have exposed anything over the radio, unless the listeners have special super hearing.
I'm sure there are bigger fish to fry. Time to move on, indeed!
I think I speak for Woodie out there. Who cares!!
The only newspaper to report the story was the Daily Mail and there known for blowing stories out of proportion.
ANOTHER DAY IN THE GUTTER FOR THE BBC!! it screamed.
For God sake this is John 'jinnys-got-the-monster-out' Barrowman. This is behaviour we've come to expect from him. No one saw it for gods sake, it was on the radio.
I know I'm ranting but I think it's just stupid.
FYI, he hadn't explicitly shown anything that's taboo. the newspapers have blown it out of proportion, and there was only ONE guy who actually complained to the BBC about it. What's the big deal?
