John Barrowman has backed Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Over The Rainbow to be a success.

The Torchwood actor appeared on the judging panel on Webber’s three previous talent shows, I’d Do Anything, How You Solve A Problem Like Maria and Any Dream Will Do.

Barrowman admitted that he would have liked to have been involved in the search for a new Dorothy, but claimed that he is pleased for new judge John Partridge.

Speaking on Richard Bacon’s BBC 5Live show, he said: “I’m a big friend of Dorothy so I don’t think I’d have a problem finding one!

“The BBC wanted me to do it, but the independent company who are producing the show for them didn’t ask me until Christmas. And I had to make a decision about [appearing in] Desperate Housewives by that point, so I couldn’t do it.”

He added: “John Partridge – he is a BBC One boy, he understudied me in the West End, a great gig for him and he’ll be really good.”
