Barrowman: 'It's OK for men to cheat'

John Barrowman has revealed that he believes it is acceptable for men to cheat on each other.

The Torchwood star said that men's attitudes towards fidelity are different and homosexual relationships are more relaxed.

"When a guy strays and ends up with someone else, it's not a big deal... Sex for men is external. I think it's hard for women to realise this," he remarked.

Barrowman admitted that he continued to sleep around after meeting civil partner Scott Gill, despite knowing instantly that he was "the one".

"We saw each other casually for about a year, but before it got serious I had my fair share of wham-bam," he said.

The pair have been together for 15 years.
