Former Coronation Street star Millie Gibson couldn't look more different to her soap character as she was seen in new pictures for Doctor Who. The actress, who played Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, revealed last November that she had been given the role of the new doctor's new companion.
She'll star in the upcoming series of the BBC Sc-Fi show alongside the 15th Doctor, played by Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa. Speaking of her new role at the time of the announcement, Millie said: "Whilst still being in total disbelief, I am beyond honoured to be cast as the Doctor’s companion. It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots of the fellow companions have travelled in before me.
"And what better way to do that than being by the fabulous Ncuti Gatwa’s side, I just can’t wait to get started." Millie has since spent months working on the upcoming episodes, which will see her make her debut as Ruby Sunday this festive season.
