Channing Tatum's new 'Magic Mike' movie has been disrupted by "sex-starved" admirers.

The 41-year-old actor is reprising the role of Mike Lane to star in 'Last Dance', but groups of women have been turning up at the dance studio in London where the cast has been preparing for the new film.

A source explained: "It starts as a bit of fun and it’s great that the fans are so engaged. They’re just passionate - and plainly sex-starved! But after a while it has become problematic and there are now a lot of fans trying to get hold of the guys pretty much everywhere they go.

"The security team are concerned about what they might be prepared to do just to get their hands on them."

'Last Dance' is the final film in the 'Magic Mike' franchise.

The movies have developed a big fan following over the years, and security has had to be stepped up in a bid to protect the stars.

The insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Obviously the previous films have had a huge impact but also left this legion of horny middle-aged women, who are making it their business to know the guys’ every move and follow them all over the place.

"Sadly the only option has been to move things around and take security precautions, by bringing in some proper heavies to make sure nobody gets hurt."

Channing previously promised to hold nothing back in the third film in the franchise.

He said: "I want it to be the Super Bowl of stripping.

"I want dancing like we've never been able to do in the other two movies, because we had to be honest to what the reality of that world is, which isn't great dancing."
