The TV star has joined the cast as companion Dan Lewis for the upcoming 13th series and admitted he had the “most embarrassing moment” of his career while he was filming with fellow newcomer Jacob Anderson.

He said: “Without revealing too much, we had to do this moment where we were in the green studio and we had to be standing against an opponent in a forceful manner.

“Jacob is a young, fit man. So I walked up and I had to deliver my line and I walked on, 10 steps and something left me more than words.

“I thought I would plough on and look straight in the camera, because nobody knows and nobody laughed.”

However, John admitted he soon realised he hadn’t got away with the awkward moment.

He added: “Jacob stood next to me and said, ‘I heard that’. Imagine standing next to an action hero like him and farting?

“So there may be one episode where it sounds like a bomb went off, but it is not a bomb.”
