Torchwood star John Barrowman has claimed the new series of the sci-fi show is raunchier than ever - with male nudity and steamy sex scenes.

The actor returns as time traveller Captain Jack Harkness in a new, bigger budget version of the BBC1 series with a ten- episode run called Torchwood: Miracle Day.

Barrowman said: "I'm naked in one episode - I am full-on naked. I am bumping and grinding in this one. I am having man sex. The true die-hard fans know Jack is omnisexual - he likes men and women.

"People who tune into this series will just think Jack is gay, because he just has full-on man sex."

Barrowman, 44, added: "It was really fun. One day, I get to shoot a helicopter and save the world, and a couple of days later, I get to have sex with a 24-year-old."

Joining Barrowman are Eve Myles returning as Torchwood colleague Gwen Cooper, and Hollywood stars Bill Pullman as a convicted child murderer and Mekhi Phifer - known to TV audiences for his role in ER - as a CIA agent.
