Barrowman 'crashes car at 80mph'

John Barrowman has crashed a turbo-charged rally car speeding at 80mph while shooting a stunt for Fifth Gear.

The Doctor Who actor was driving a £120,000 Subaru when he lost control of the vehicle, according to the News Of The World.

The motor reportedly flipped over four times before narrowly avoiding a lake, with the show's presenter Tiff Needell next to the star in the passenger seat.

Barrowman said: "I'm lucky to walk away unscathed. I got a ticking off from my mum afterwards."

The incident will feature on the next episode of Fifth Gear, which airs tomorrow at 8pm on Five.
