I'm sure I've read or heard of a Carry On star who used to reveal themselves for laughs/shock value.

If Barrowman can be excused for his behaviour in 2005 because KW used to misbehave in a similar way on the set of Carry On Cleo in 1964, presumably someone (not Barrowman, but a hypothetical person) could be excused for having sex with 10-year-old Moroccan boys in 2008 because Joe Orton used to do that in 1967.

Slightly different someone flashing their bits in front of cast members as a practical joke and someone doing things with children. I have to admit, I've always thought all kinds of shenanigans went on behind the scenes of these TV show, films, music-related stuff. It has, or had, always been a rather liberal anything-goes industry, and that's probably a reason why so many young people drifted towards it. Now it's becoming more like something Cliff Richard and Thora Hird would approve of. I have no real problem with that as I'm a prude at heart, but I do feel sorry for *some* of the people who are now going to feel the force of this new generation due to their years of what was then innocent, but a bit naughty, fun.

Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis reveals secret romance with Natalie Imbruglia

Stefan told Stellar Magazine that he dated another co-star, Gayle Blakeney who played Christina Alessi. ‘Because of my relationship with Gayle and later, in a well-kept secret, I was going out with Natlalie Imbruglia,’ he said. ‘There was a rumour that I was making my way through the female cast.’

He says he and Natalie got together after meeting on set and discovering a mutual attraction – but it’s a romance that’s been kept entirely under wraps until now.
