John Barrowman was left with cuts and bruises after an 80mph car crash.

The Torchwood star, 42, was taking part in a rally race in Powys, Wales, for Fifth Gear when he lost control of the £120,000 Subaru.

The vehicle flipped four times as it slipped down a verge and narrowly missed a lake.

John was taken to hospital after being treated by the roadside.

'I'm lucky to walk away unscathed,’ John tells the News Of The World. ‘I got a ticking off from my mum afterwards.'

The crash will air on Fifth Gear on Five tonight at 8pm.
