Meanwhile, earlier today, Ashley Walters, who stars alongside Noel Clarke in Bulletproof, broke his silence following the string of allegations against his friend.
The Viewpoint actor has been accused of misconduct – including verbal abuse, bullying and sexual harassment – by 20 women.
Taking to Twitter, Ashley admitted he is “deeply saddened” by the claims – which Noel denies.
What did Ashley Walters say about Noel Clarke?
In a statement, 38-year-old Ashley wrote: “My thoughts are with the women who have come forward and told their awful stories.
“I’m in shock and deeply saddened by what I have heard on a multitude of levels.
“I could never condone behaviour of this nature neither in nor out of the workplace, and whilst Noel has been a friend and colleague for several years, I cannot stand by and ignore these allegations.
“Sexual harassment, abuse and bullying have no place in our industry.”
I’m in shock and deeply saddened.
Furthermore, he said: “Every woman has the right to a safe workplace and moving forward I pledge my dedication to this.”
It comes after Sky halted production on season four of Bulletproof.
BAFTA has also stripped the actor and director of his recent award.
