The 51-year-old actor - who married his husband, Scott Gill, in 2013 - is "good friends" with the 'Doctor Foster' actress after the duo worked together in theatre production of 'A Few Good Men' in 2005, and he has revealed that the 40-year-old star offered to "accommodate" him when he and his partner are keen to have children.

In his book 'Anything Goes', John wrote: "I found a surrogate mother for my future children.

"From the play A Few Good Men I gained a good friend in actress Suranne Jones, or Sarah as she's known to her mates.

"One night she told me that if Scott and I ever did decide we wanted to have a child of our own, she'd be happy to accommodate us."

John also confessed he "adores kids" and would love to one day have a family of his own, but he doesn't think Scott is "ready" just yet.

He said: "Perhaps one day I might become a dad, we have a lot of love to give and I adore kids.

"It has to be a partnership thing and I don't think Scott is ready."

The 'Torchwood' actor recently suffered a fall down some steps on Sunday's (02.12.18) 'I'm A Celeb' and suffered a sprained ankle, but he was let back in the jungle after being seen in hospital and discharged.
