Tovey has 'no idea' about 'Torchwood'

Russell Tovey has admitted that he has "no idea" if he will be joining the cast of Torchwood.

Speaking at the Being Human panel at Comic-Con, the actor responded to speculation that he would continue his Doctor Who role of Midshipman Frame in the spinoff.

"[I have] no idea. Genuinely no idea." he told fans. "There's been lots of rumours. I did that scene [in The End of Time] and I never really thought anything of it."

Tovey's brief appearance in David Tennant's final Who story saw him encounter Torchwood lead Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) in an alien bar.

"To be honest, I've never really watched Torchwood," he revealed. "But since [that scene] I've been bombarded with messages asking 'Are you gonna be Jack's lover?'. I genuinely don't know."

Tovey also explained that he was "proud" that the SyFy network were remaking Being Human for the US.
