James McAvoy was left 'scunnered' by racial abuse hurled at his female co-stars while performing on stage in Glasgow. The Scottish actor, who performed a two-week stint of Cyrano de Bergerac in Glasgow earlier this year, said most of the women of colour in his cast dealt with 'sexually explicit and violent' abuse on a 'daily basis'.

He said: “The cast were amazing, it was brilliant. But I was really saddened, to be honest with you, because most of the women of colour in the cast got racially abused pretty much on a daily basis when we were there.
